H3N2 Flu Information
H3N2 flu is a subtype of the influenza A virus. It is a strain of the flu that can cause seasonal flu outbreaks and epidemics.
H3N2 is a highly contagious virus that spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Symptoms of H3N2 flu can include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and headache.
In some cases, it can lead to more serious complications such as pneumonia, especially in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
The best way to prevent H3N2 flu is to get an annual flu vaccine. It is also important to practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently and covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, to help prevent the spread of the virus.
If you do get sick with H3N2 flu, rest, drink plenty of fluids, and talk to your healthcare provider about treatment options.
