The CDC says H3N2, a A strain influenza, is the one circulating the U.S. right now. And it's a nasty one. We've seen it before and typically when it shows up we have a deadlier flu season. The other issue is that flu season arrived earlier than usual and people are already getting hospitalized and we've had one pediatric death in Northeast Ohio. Health experts are urging us to get the flu shot and COVID booster, because with RSV cases on the rise, flu and COVID, we're in for a triple whammy this season. In this episode I talk to Richard Stacklin, Cuyahoga County Board of Health · Epidemiology, Surveillance, & Informatics about what we need to do to protect ourselves.
