Winter Bugs Are Back—Here’s What to Watch For

Flu and RSV are making a comeback this winter, especially in schools and care homes, while Covid cases are actually dropping. If you or your kids suddenly get a high fever, body aches, or a nasty cough, it could be more than just a cold. Keep an eye out for red flag symptoms like trouble breathing or chest pain—those are your cue to get medical help ASAP. Stay hydrated, rest up, and don’t ignore anything that feels off! #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

Flu, RSV & Covid: What’s Hitting Hard Now

Winter bugs are back and making the rounds! Flu and RSV cases are rising again, especially in schools and care homes, while Covid is holding steady at lower levels. Watch for sudden fevers, coughs, and fatigue—especially in kids and older folks. Most can ride it out at home, but if symptoms get scary (think chest pain, trouble breathing, or babies not eating), don’t wait—get help ASAP. Stay hydrated, rest up, and keep an eye on those symptoms! #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

Flu & RSV Are Spiking—Here’s What to Watch For

Winter bugs are making a comeback! Flu and RSV cases are rising in England, especially in schools and care homes, while Covid is steady. If you’re feeling rough—think high fever, body aches, cough, or your kid seems extra cranky—keep an eye out. Most cases clear up at home, but if symptoms get worse, you’re over 65, pregnant, or have a health condition, don’t wait to call your doctor. Stay hydrated, rest up, and trust your gut if something feels off! #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

This New Flu Strain Is No Joke

There’s a new flu strain called subclade K making the rounds, and it’s already causing spikes in the UK, Canada, and even led Japan to declare an early epidemic. It’s a variant of H3N2 that’s spreading fast and seems to dodge some of our usual vaccine protection. Experts say it’s not necessarily more severe, but with fewer people getting vaccinated, hospitals are seeing a surge. If you’re in a high-risk group, you’ll want to keep an eye on this one! #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

Flu shot still matters, even with new variant

A new flu variant is making the rounds in Buffalo this season, and it’s not a perfect match for the current vaccine. But here’s the thing: local doctors say the shot still offers solid protection, especially against severe illness and hospital visits. Even if you catch the flu, the vaccine can help your body fight it off better. Kids and older adults, in particular, see big benefits. If you haven’t gotten your flu shot yet, now’s the time—it’s one of the best tools we have to keep our community healthier this winter. What’s your experience with the flu shot this year? #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

Flu Season Just Canceled Grandma’s Weekend

This year’s flu is no joke—kids are getting hit hard, and hospitalizations are up. Now, families everywhere are checking flu dashboards like weather apps before making plans. It’s all about balancing hugs with health, and sometimes that means rescheduling those long-awaited visits. Anyone else feeling the struggle? #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason
