of patients with flu symptoms visiting medical clinics is almost to the peak reached at the height of the 2017-18 flu season--the most severe in a decade.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">One person I know has been diagnosed with flu despite being vaccinated at the UArizona Tucson campus this year. This is not due to the vaccine and clearly their pathogenic virus' immunotype is
not the same as that of the vaccine's and/or the circulating influenza virus is so virulent that it has overwhelmed vaccinal immunity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

flu symptoms, please visit your health professional immediately. Please do not come in to work until you know your symptoms are not due to the flu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
