CDC calls flu season a mild one, says plenty of vaccine still available.(Brief Article)
2002 APR 17 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The U.S. flu season is nearing its peak, with a rising number of cases in the past several weeks, the government said.
About 14% of the specimens sent to a nationwide network of labs tested positive for influenza in mid-January, up from 4% in early December, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.
The figure usually rises to at least 25% before flu season peaks, usually in February or March.
The good news is that 10 million doses of flu vaccine are still available in the United States. The CDC is urging health care providers to offer them through February, especially to the elderly and chronically ill.
This year's vaccine fights well against the predominant strain of the bug circulating this season, the CDC said.
