ACHOO! Flu season back in full swing

MICHIANA -- Break out the tissues!  Flu season is back in full swing.

Pharmacies are saying they're seeing more people with seasonal illnesses, like allergies and colds.



Many of those pharmacies are now also offering flu shots.



The Center for Disease Control does recommend people get their flu shots when they become available.



Vaccination before December is considered the best timing because it ensures protective anti-bodies are in place before flu activity is at its highest.



Flu season typically lasts from October to late May.
