#Flu #vaccinations may not prevent people from coming down w/symptoms, but research shows they are highly effective at preventing #hospitalizations & #deaths, O’Leary said, adding that the decline in vaccinations “is certainly playing a role” in this season’s loss of life.
The season has not only been hard on #children. #CDC ofcls describe it as “highly severe,” & estimate that so far there have been at least 47M illnesses, 610k hospitalizations & 26k deaths this season.
Why #EatingDisorder #Hospitalizations Are Rising Among #Men

During this 2024-2025 season so far, CDC has clocked more than 24 million cases, 310,000 hospitalizations, and 13,000 deaths. A record breaking 57 children have already died. The reasons? General flu immunity diminished due to fewer cases during the CoVid pandemic. That is unpreventable. But what is preventable is the abysmally low flu vaccination rate. Only 45% of Americans of ALL ages have received this years influenza vaccine. While protection by the vaccine is not perfect and this years data is incomplete, vaccination will reduce your chance of developing severe disease by about 53%. The vaccine is available and at no cost with most health insurance. Seniors should get the double strength version. https://www.cdc.gov/fluview/surveillance/2025-week-05.html https://www.cdc.gov/fluvaxview/dashboard/index.html https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2025.30.4.2500059 #influenza #vaccination #hospitalizations #death".
