CDC Health Advisory

If you haven't gotten your flu shot yet, there's still time!

That being said, the CDC has issued an advisory noting that one of the strains has mutated. This will lessen the effectiveness of the vaccine (not, as some have claimed, make the vaccine useless). It's likely that even with the strain having mutated the vaccine can help lessen symptoms.
