This year’s flu season has been causing troubles for people since its beginning in October, but its peak time starts in December. According to a report of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the peak flu activity may occur through February next year.

The leading national public health institute of the country said the only way to tackle flu is get the shot. Not all people get the flu shot, but those people who do not want to compromise with heath should get the flu vaccine as it is the only way to reduce the risk of developing the infection and limit its spread, as per CDC.
