New York sees rising flu cases, with H3N2 strain causing severe illness, prompting health warnings despite reduced vaccine effectiveness.
Flu cases are rising across multiple New York regions, with Westchester, Orange, Dutchess, and Onondaga counties reporting significant increases, contributing to over 378,000 statewide cases since the season began.
The H3N2 strain remains dominant, linked to more severe illness, especially among older adults, and a new variant reduces vaccine effectiveness.
Despite this, health officials stress that vaccination can still reduce severe outcomes by 40 to 60 percent and urge residents to get vaccinated, practice hygiene, stay home when sick, and seek care early.
Flu activity remains high, hospitals are under strain, and the season is considered one of the worst in over a decade.
