After a mild start to the flu season in Michigan, reports of flu-like symptoms are rising sharply according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

As reports of flu-like symptoms skyrocket in southwest Michigan, statewide reports of the flu have hit another seasonal high in Michigan.

Vaxart is testing an oral H1N1 influenza tablet which could replace the flu shot.

On Thursday, health officials announced that flu shots are only 23 percent effective against this season's strain. This is not a good sign in a season where it seems more and more people are being stricken down with the flu.

It's getting to be that time again, where everyone around you becomes a walking pustule of disease-spreading evil. Or, as most people call it, cold and flu season. There are apparently ways to prevent getting sick, but the host of this video has failed at using them. This doesn't mean that his information is useless to us healthy people, though.
