CDC: Flu Vaccine Only 23 Percent Effective This Year

According to new data released by the CDC, this year’s flu vaccine is only 23 percent effective at preventing medical visits associated with seasonal flu. The vaccine is typically between 10 and 60 percent effective.

The CDC said these findings indicate that physicians should be aware that all hospitalized patients and all outpatients who are at high risk for flu complications should be treated as soon as possible with one of three available influenza antiviral medications if the flu is suspected, regardless of whether or not the patient has been vaccinated.

Individuals who are high risk for compliactions include:
  • Children and infants
  • Pregnant women
  • Senior citizens
  • People with disabilities
  • People with heart conditions
  • Travelers and people living abroad
