The number of positive flu tests and hospitalizations in the U.S. is the highest in more than a decade, indicating this influenza season may be the most severe in years.
"What the data tells us so far is we're likely to have a fairly substantial influenza season," Dr. Timothy Brewer, a professor of epidemiology at UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, told ABC News. "It's taking off at a faster rate than usual. We're clearly in the influenza season but what we're seeing is a more rapid rise in cases."
Public health experts said one of the possible reasons why cases and hospitalizations are so high is because during the COVID-19 pandemic, when schools and businesses were closed and people were staying at home, they weren't exposed to many viruses. The doctors stressed it's not too late to get the flu shot and encourage everyone 6 months and older to receive a dose.
