Late December marks the holiday season, and currently, we're in the midst of the 2024-25 flu season, with increased flu cases reported due to changing vaccination guidelines.
Louisiana's Department of Health has stopped recommending annual flu shots for residents, emphasizing that vaccination is now a personal choice against a backdrop of rising flu infections.
The state DOH stated, 'immunization for any vaccine, along with practices like mask-wearing and social distancing, are an individual's personal choice,' highlighting a significant shift in public health messaging.
Reports indicate Louisiana has reached 'Very High' levels of influenza this season, raising concerns that less emphasis on flu vaccination could be contributing to these rising case numbers.
