Seriously people, there is an epidemic going on -- if you have not gotten a flu shot yet, get one now.
From
FOX News:
Flu season in full swing, could get worse, experts say
More than half of the states in the U.S. are experiencing high levels of flu-like illness, and flu activity continues to be on the rise, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention�s latest FluView report.
Currently, 29 states and New York City are reporting high levels of influenza-like-illness (ILI), and another nine states are reporting moderate levels of ILI. This season, 18 children have died from flu-associated deaths.
�Reports of influenza-like-illness are nearing what have been peak levels during moderately severe seasons,� said Dr. Joe Bresee, chief of the Epidemiology and Prevention branch.
The CDC said anyone who has not yet received a flu shot, should get one.
The CDC FluView website is excellent -- here is their
summary page.
Doing the shopping run for the store tomorrow and planning to get a shot at the Costco Pharmacy when I am there.
