The seasonal flu this year is the worst the US has experienced in 15 years. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 29 million cases of influenza have been reported, leading to at least 370,000 hospitalizations, and 16,000 deaths.
Speakers this week will discuss the alarming rise in cases of flu; tips for preventing and treating the illness; underlying environmental and health factors that make certain populations, including kids and elders more vulnerable to flu-related pneumonia; and lower vaccination rates.
