According to estimates, U.S. #flu vaccines were 36% effective overall against influenza A and B. That might not sound impressive, but it means a vaccinated person reduced risk of getting sick with the flu and having to go to the doctor by about one-third.

This #flu season continues to be particularly challenging. CDC’s latest tracking data indicate that flu activity is still on the rise overall. Influenza A H3N2 viruses continue to dominate this season, and are often linked to more severe illness.
