I’ve heard the strain is different than what’s in the vaccine
Ascension schools plan on disinfecting everything next week when kids are out
I’d think it’s worst in elementary & middle schools, no source just what I’m hearing from friends

Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes based on two proteins on the surface of the virus: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). There are 18 different hemagglutinin subtypes and 11 different neuraminidase subtypes (H1 through H18 and N1 through N11, respectively). While there are potentially 198 different influenza A subtype combinations, only 131 subtypes have been detected in nature. Current subtypes of influenza A viruses that routinely circulate in people include: A(H1N1) and A(H3N2). Influenza A subtypes can be further broken down into different genetic “clades” and “sub-clades.” See the “Influenza Viruses” graphic below for a visual depiction of these classifications

Trying to vaccinate for the flu is like hitting a moving target.
I’m no doctor though.
