Reporting on the Flu: Who, When, Where
Update: Influenza Activity — United States, September 30–December 1, 2007
December 20, 2007
This program is presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CDC – safer,
healthier people.
Every year, CDC gets information from all over the United States about how
many people are getting sick with the flu. In early December, we’re not seeing
many flu cases yet, but typically those numbers rise and peak after the New
Year, so it’s not too late to get a flu shot. A flu shot will help protect against the flu
and also reduce the spread of flu to others. For some people, flu can have very
serious and even life-threatening complications, so it’s important to prevent it
whenever possible. Flu season lasts until spring, so check with your health care
provider to find out where you and your family can get flu shots.
