The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated
that the flu season is officially under way about a month earlier than
expected.
Towards the end of November, the percentage of visits to
the doctor attributing to influenza-like illness (fever, sore throat, cough, or
a combination) was 2.2 percent.
This percentage matches the national baseline. Texas,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama have reported high flu activity.
This year marks the earliest flu season in almost a
decade. The CDC is urging people to be vaccinated as soon as possible. It is
also important to wash your hands, cover your mouth and stay home if you
experience flu-like symptoms.
