Experts warn of severe flu season — here's why…
A new, mutated flu strain dubbed "subclade K" is spreading rapidly, sparking fears of a severe flu season across the US. Doctors are on high alert, with some Chicago-area physicians already observing its swift transmission.
This mutated variant is particularly concerning. It evades some existing immunity, making it harder for the body to fight off infection. This is why many are feeling more vulnerable.
Lagging vaccination rates are also a major factor. Fewer people are protected, creating a perfect storm for widespread illness. Experts predict a particularly nasty flu season, emphasizing the need for preventative measures.
It's a race against time. Will updated vaccines be enough to curb this aggressive new strain? Public health officials urge everyone to get their flu shots now.
