Massachusetts Flu Season Remains Severe Despite Small Dip

Massachusetts still faces a brutal flu season even as flu-like illness dipping slightly (from just over 12% to just under 11%) keeps New England in a ‘very high’ activity range. A total of 66 deaths have occurred, including four children.

Officials warn another wave could follow, potentially with influenza B, and emphasize prevention and early antiviral treatment, especially for young children and older adults.
