This flu season is running about four weeks early
Published
CDC data show 4,811 lab-confirmed flu hospital admissions in the week ending Oct. 17, the highest rate for this point since 2010-11. Nearly every sample is H1N1, a descendant of the 2009 pandemic strain rather than a new virus. Experts urge everyone 6 months and older to get a flu shot now, since it mainly protects against serious illness.
