Flu cases remain high across much of the country, including Washington state, as the CDC warns this is the first “high severity season” in seven years. In Washington, flu-related deaths have reached their highest level since the 2017-2018 season, with 296 lab-confirmed deaths reported so far in 2024-2025 and over 6 months still left to go in this year’s season. #Flu seasons are measured from the 40th week of one year to the 39th week of the following year, or roughly from October to the following September.

A quick bit of unsolicited advice if you don't mind. Since there's no algorithm on Mastodon, hashtags are an especially important way to help others find your posts. People can search them or follow them so they show up in their home feeds. You can include them in the text of your post or on a separate line below. I think some appropriate hashtags here would be: #flu #Washington #Health and #CDC

@WADeptHealth Will there be a flu shot next year? I heard the meeting to finalize the expected strains was canceled by the trump administation.
