Hospitals Bring Back Visitor Bans—Yikes!

Visitor bans and mask mandates are making a comeback at hospitals across the US thanks to a surge in a ‘super’ flu virus, Covid, and RSV. Some hospitals are even turning away anyone under 18 or those with symptoms. The flu shot isn’t a perfect match this year, but experts say it’s still your best bet to avoid getting seriously sick. Anyone else getting déjà vu from 2020? #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

Flu Cases Drop, But Don’t Ditch the Tissues Yet

Flu hospital admissions in England are finally dropping this winter, but health officials are warning us not to get too comfy. The virus is still lurking and could make a comeback in the new year. If you’re eligible for the flu shot, it’s not too late to get it—nobody wants to start 2025 with a fever! Stay smart: wash your hands, keep rooms airy, and maybe keep that mask handy for crowded places. #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

This Year’s ‘Super Flu’ Is No Joke

Flu season is hitting way harder than usual, and it’s all thanks to a new ‘super flu’ strain (H3N2 subclade K) that’s sending more people to the hospital. Think high fevers, body aches, and symptoms that hit fast and hard. Even the flu shot isn’t as effective this year, so docs are saying to mask up and stay home if you get sick. Anyone else feeling paranoid every time they sneeze? #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

Flu Season Is Getting Wild RN

Flu cases are spiking big time—almost 5 million people have already gotten sick this season, and NYC is basically a flu hotspot. There’s a new variant (subclade K) that’s not a perfect match for the current vaccine, but experts say getting your flu shot still helps a lot, especially against severe illness. With the holidays coming up and everyone gathering indoors, now’s the time to get vaccinated if you haven’t yet! #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

Flu A’s New Variant Is Making the Rounds

Flu season just got a little wilder—there’s a new Influenza A variant (H3N2 subclade K) that’s spreading fast and isn’t fully covered by this year’s flu shot. Cases are already spiking, but doctors say the vaccine still helps keep you out of the hospital. If you’re seeing family or have high-risk folks around, it’s not too late to get your shot! Don’t forget the basics: wash hands, cover coughs, and mask up if you’re feeling rough. #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

Should I Bother With a Flu Shot?

Been chugging ginger shots and sleeping like a bear, but still feeling that flu lurking? Same. Here’s the tea: even if you’re young and healthy, getting the flu jab isn’t just about you—it’s about protecting your nana, your friend’s newborn, and anyone who can’t get vaccinated. With flu cases wild right now, docs say book that jab ASAP if you want to dodge being the family Grinch this Christmas. Mask up, wash hands, and keep your distance if you’re feeling off! #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason
