According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), last year’s record-breaking flu season resulted in 80,000 deaths in the United States, which is the highest number of deaths from the
flu in over three decades.
CDC recommends getting a flu vaccine every year because flu viruses evolve quickly, and last
year’s vaccine may not protect against the current year’s flu strain. Even if the flu vaccine does
not fully protect against the flu, it may reduce the severity of symptoms and the risk of complications.
