New data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates a substantial spike in flu cases across the United States during this holiday season.

Given the dual threat of flu and ongoing COVID-19 challenges, public health officials emphasize the importance of vigilance to safeguard community health during this time.
