This year's flu vaccine is 59% effective.
Date: | March 3, 2016 |
The flu vaccine this year has been 59% effective, according to preliminary data from the CDC. This is much better than last year's flu vaccine, which was only 23% effective, and more in line with prior years.
Our office had not seen much Influenza illness until this week. We have had 4 cases of flu (test-positive) this week.
