Flu season is strong: more cases and worries about vaccines.

The flu is spreading quickly in the United States. Many states are seeing more people getting sick, going to the hospital, and testing positive for the flu.

Tennessee and Louisiana are seeing a lot of flu cases. Doctors in these states say many people are sick and coming to the hospital.

It's important to remember that other viruses can cause similar symptoms to the flu. These include COVID-19 and RSV, which can be dangerous for some people.

The CDC says it's too early to tell how effective this year's flu vaccine will be. They also say last year's flu season was bad, especially for children.

Doctors recommend everyone get the flu vaccine, especially before holiday gatherings. However, Louisiana's health department is no longer strongly recommending the flu and COVID-19 vaccines.
