Influenza hitting early and often

Illinois is in the midst of one of its worst influenza seasons in recent memory.

It’s one of 41 states with widespread influenza – part of higher-than-normal flu activity nationwide for four consecutive weeks, according to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Illinois hasn’t seen such widespread influenza since the 2003 flu season, with the exception of the H1N1 virus – commonly known as swine flu – in 2009.
