This year's version of the influenza vaccine appears to be effective against the widely circulating strains of the virus, the CDC said on Monday.
Even when the vaccine is a poor match to circulating strains, “we see a 35% decrease in rates of hospitalization … which really just emphasizes, when we do have a good match, how much more effective it will be,” she said,Tracking and survey data shows that between 26% and 40% of U.S. adults have received the flu vaccine this year, which is up slightly over last year. Four in 10 children have gotten a flu vaccine, which is the same rate as this time a year ago.
The CDC also reported that the leading circulating flu strains are all responding to widely available antiviral treatments.CBS News: “Flu shots are a 'very good match' to this season's strains, CDC says.” CDC: “Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report, Updated December 2, 2022,” “Vaccine Effectiveness: How Well Do Flu Vaccines Work?” “Past Seasons’ Vaccine Effectiveness Estimates,” “Weekly Flu Vaccination Dashboard.”CNN: “Flu vaccine appears to be a very good match to circulating strains, CDC says.”
