CDC : Flu vaccine matches 40 percent of season's viruses

The title of my article is CDC :Flu vaccine matches 40 percent of season's viruses

Accordin to the article, now is the flu season and flu shot suits only 40% of the most epreading flu. in this week, 10 children died by flu in U.S but the fact doesn't mean this year's flu is dangerous because the peak of the flu season usually come in early February. the problem is that vaccine doesn't work enough. every year, experts guess the type of flu which will be spreaded and thier guess didn't success this year. H3N2 and H1N1 viruses are the majority and H1N1 type are resistant. The U.S Food Administration will decide how they deal with the issue. We have to be caution about it.


The flu is a big problem every year. I have never caught a flu but many people catch it and some of them die. espacially, young children and elder people tend to last a symptom and get worse. It may happens that vaccine doesn't match the type of viruses which is overspread in any other countries. It's important to have a shot but I think we have some way to protect our health. Washing the hands and gargling are good way. And, I hope the day that someone invent the perfectvaccine will come.
