The CDC’s first release of data this flu season shows the season could be starting early.
Flu season may be starting early this year, experts sayWASHINGTON — Two illnesses that could affect children are on the rise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC is already reporting early increases in seasonal flu activity and cases of RSV.“Things are going to hit us a little bit harder this year and earlier,” said Dr. Linda Nabha, who is an infectious diseases specialist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
“People are now at meetings and conferences and weddings and such, so the concern is certainly we’re going to see an increased rate of flu,” she said. “It’s happening in places we don’t typically see a rise this early on and for that, that raises a red flag,” Dr. Nabha explained.
