Almost four million people have been struck with the flu already this season, as the country suffers high levels of illness according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to their latest FluView report, the CDC estimates that there have been at least 3.7 million flu illnesses.
Among those, some 32,000 have required hospitalization while another 1,800 have died as a result of the flu.
Six states and the District of Columbia had moderate levels of flu activity while 10 states had low and 14 states had minimal levels.
'It’s not too late to get vaccinated,' the CDC asserts. 'Flu vaccination is always the best way to prevent flu and its potentially serious complications.'
The CDC shares that 99% of flu viruses tested this season have been susceptible to the four FDA-approved influenza antiviral medications.
