Summary

Flu hospitalizations are finally dropping, signaling the peak may be past — but don’t relax yet. Infection rates remain high thanks to a particularly nasty strain of influenza A, which is 40% more potent than last year’s peak. The vaccine still works well this season, and flu shots are now free for kids under five. Stay home when sick and keep your distance — it’s not just about you, it’s about protecting everyone.
