What's the latest on flu trends?

In a typical flu season, January and February are the heaviest months in terms of reported flu cases. But the flu can appear at other times of the year as well. In 2009, for example, UCH and other hospitals started seeing a spike in the number of flu patients in August.

News of the seasonal flu and other flu strains still appears in the media. We've made this page to help you understand more about the flu, and to give you treatment options in case you or a family member gets sick.

It's important to remember that if you're in good health, and have no underlying medical conditions, coming down with seasonal flu is usually something you can get through at home.
