Vermont Flu Season
The US Centers for Disease Control works with states to monitor influenza outbreaks in the country. Annual outbreaks of the seasonal flu usually occur during late fall through early spring. Most people have natural immunity. A flu pandemic happens when a new influenza A virus strain appears. Flu-related deaths average 23,600 per year in the United States. Each year 5 to 20 percent of the population gets the seasonal flu.
Avoiding the FLU
Getting vaccinated is the best protection. If you contract the flu see your doctor. 
Antiviral medications can make your illness milder and shorter in duration.
