🌬️ Winter Alert: A ‘Mutant’ Flu is Here! 🌬️
Hold onto your hats, folks! This year’s flu season is arriving early and with a twist. A new, more contagious strain of flu is making waves across the UK. Known as the H3N2, or subclade K, this mutant variant is leading to a spike in flu cases, with hospital admissions nearly doubling in just a week! 😷🏥
This flu bug is hitting hard with symptoms like high fever, body aches, and fatigue appearing suddenly. It’s more aggressive than previous strains, but don’t panic—the flu jab still packs a punch against it! 💉 Despite the virus’s mutation, the jab offers solid protection, especially for those most vulnerable.
Health experts are urging everyone eligible, including over-65s, pregnant individuals, and those suffering from chronic conditions like asthma, heart conditions, or diabetes, to get their flu shot. It’s our best defence in keeping ourselves and others safe during this unprecedented flu wave. 🙌
Stay informed, stay protected, and let’s beat this bug together! 🤝 Spread the word, not the flu! 🗣️💪
