The flu season of 2024-2025 refers to the period of time when influenza, commonly known as the flu, is most prevalent. It typically occurs during the colder months in temperate regions, with the peak of activity varying depending on the geographic location. The flu can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, and muscle aches. While most people recover from the flu within a few days or weeks, it can sometimes lead to serious complications, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with chronic health conditions.
The flu season of 2024-2025 is expected to be particularly severe due to several factors. First, the flu virus that is circulating this year is a new strain that has not been seen before. This means that people have little or no immunity to it, which makes them more likely to get sick. Second, the flu vaccine for this year is not as effective as it has been in the past. This is because the flu virus has mutated, which means that the vaccine does not provide as much protection against it.
