The American CDC control center confirmed that the influenza season in the United States of America began severely and early this year, which led to the exhaustion of hospitals that also deal with an increase in other respiratory viruses, including Corona and respiratory virus, according to the “Health “.
The American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the United States witnessed 4.
4 million influenza cases at least this season, with 38,000 cases entered the hospital and 2100 deaths due to influenza.
While influenza rates do not usually start to rise until December or January, 27 American states now have high or very high levels of influenza.
The southern and southwestern regions were severely damaged, but the numbers are increasing in other regions, especially among those who are 65 years old or older and children under the age of 5, according to the Associated Press.
“It is extremely important for people at greater risk to vaccination,” said Lynette Bermer of the influenza department at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Disease control and prevention centers recommend taking influenza vaccines to anyone aged 6 months or more.
Dr. Mark Griffiths, a pediatrician in Atlanta, said that children’s hospitals in his area have more than 30 % of patients more than usual.
Meanwhile, Corona is still responsible for more than 3000 daily entry cases to the hospital, according to the Center for Disease Control.
Influenza vaccination rates are less than in the past years, especially for adults.
Experts say this may be because the past two seasons were moderate.
There are no vaccines against respiratory virus, which is an infection that affects the lungs and the respiratory system, which is common in children, but it can also affect adults.
The virus is especially dangerous for people with chronic and weak diseases..
