Flu rates have been at an all time high during the 2012-2013 flu season in the U.S. The flu has been affecting many U.S. citizens and the rate of success for the vaccine is only between 50 and 70 percent. Currently the death toll is at 20 citizens under the age of 18, possibly dozens more adults, but the CDC does not count flu related adult deaths.
The spread of flu and other sicknesses can be slowed by practicing proper hygiene, and with the current state of epidemic this may be extremely helpful. If you wish to get the flu vaccine it may be beneficial to your health, but there is still the chance you may catch one of the other strains of the virus.http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/11/health/us-flu-season/?hpt=hp_c1
