The CDC(Center for Disease Control) states this strain is really taking people down. Its a strain that is recognized by every doctor in the US as being very active and increasing daily. If you are a person who has a low immune system or someone who have certain health conditions you really need to speak to your doctor about getting the flu vaccination.

Our good friends had the flu recently, and their little one developed bronchiolitis from it, but they’re all recovering well. We’ve been fortunate to have been spared so far!
My oldest daughter tested positive for flu about two weeks ago. Then my husband. Then my youngest.
I take grapefruit seed extract daily, and so far *knock on wood* I have managed to play nursemaid to all three of them – and still feel fantastic. Certainly hoping my luck holds. HA!
Its already hit our house as well. Now my youngest has RSV and bronchiolitis.
My son just today started acting like he isn’t feeling well. Thinking the flu is making it’s first appearance! 🙁
Both my husband and daughter both got the flu last week. Luckily I did not!! The flu is really horrible.
