A member asked:
Good day, why is the flu so bad this winter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: The intensity of the flu depends upon the susceptibiiity of the sufferer and the strain of the flu. In the winter of 2016, the vaccine for the flu was only about 40% effective, so many who got this illness had a more difficult time.
