The US flu season, the worst in over a decade, may have peaked, according to the CDC. While flu activity remains high, it has decreased for two consecutive weeks. Hospitalizations are still elevated, and the season has already seen millions of illnesses and thousands of deaths. Flu hospitalizations surpassed Covid-19 hospitalizations this season. Vaccination rates were low, despite the vaccine’s effectiveness in preventing severe illness. The CDC urges continued vaccination to reduce flu-related health issues.
