1. It's Friday. Time for a flu 🧵 Flu season continues to heat up in the US, with 10.2% of people who are tested for influenza at clinical labs testing positive. But activity is much higher in the SE, SW & SC part of the country & a few states up the middle. We have a lot more flu ahead. #EpiSky

Ouch--glad i got vaccinated. Is the current vaccine matched well to circulating strains??

2. If you haven't gotten a flu shot yet, you really ought to get one before the holidays. Flu vaccination rates are better than Covid vaccination rates — which isn't saying much — but they are lower than they were pre-Covid. Flu sucks. You don't want to catch. www.cdc.gov/respiratory-...
