- The 2025-26 flu season has more than twice the cases and fatalities compared to last year, with seniors and young children most vulnerable.
- The fast spread is driven mainly by the mutated influenza A (H3N2) subclade K, which evades antibodies and increases infectivity.
- Flu vaccines still reduce severe illness even without a perfect match to this season’s dominant strain, especially for high-risk individuals.
- Experts advise vaccination, mask-wearing, early antiviral use, and avoiding crowded places to curb transmission and complications.
Treatment for influenza, with the antivirals that we have, is time dependent.— Dr. Frederick G. Hayden, Professor Emeritus of Infectious Diseases at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, emphasizes the importance of timely treatment for influenza.
