Flu season

By John Maczko Oct 28, 2025 | 7:05 AM

Flu season is upon us. According to the CDC, flu activity typically rises in October and November, with peaks between December and March.  The flu shot has always been your best protection; helps prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and even death, especially for older adults, young children, and anyone with chronic conditions.  Getting a flu shot at Acme, and some other locations isn’t just convenient, but affordable too.  Most insurance plans fully cover a flu shot, so there’s no out-of-pocket cost.  While the CDC recommends getting vaccinated before the end of October, it’s still worth getting vaccinated even after flu season is well underway.
