Description

Unprecedented flu season in the UK, with thousands of children hospitalized due to influenza A/H3N2. Experts like James Hay from Oxford University explain that this superflu is not unusual, occurring every few years. Children and teens are more susceptible due to high contact rates and less experienced immune systems. Vaccination is emphasized as the best protection, with significant reductions in hospital admissions for both adults and children. Stay home if sick and consider getting vaccinated for extra protection.
