This year’s flu season is among the most severe in decades and we’re not out of the woods yet.

Stanford Medicine’s Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, Professor of Global Health and Infectious Diseases, shares what to know about the dominant “subclade K” strain that’s driving high case numbers nationwide.

🔹 Not a “super flu,” but a mutated H3N2 strain that’s partially evading immunity

🔹 11 million cases, 120,000 hospitalizations, 5,000 deaths so far

🔹 Vaccine protection still matters, it lowers risk of severe illness and hospitalization

🔹 High-risk groups: older adults, young children, those with chronic conditions, and pregnant individuals

🔹 Still time to vaccinate: flu season runs fron December through to March

Flu symptoms can appear suddenly: fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, or congestion.

If you’re high-risk or symptoms worsen, contact your healthcare provider, early antiviral treatment can help.
