Flu activity is low, but experts worry about a new strain and vaccination rates

  • Flu activity in the U.S. is starting slowly this season, but a new version of the virus has emerged.
  • Current vaccines may still be somewhat effective against the new flu strain, which has driven recent infections.
  • Last winter saw the highest flu hospitalization rate since the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, with over 18,000 flu-related deaths.
