Hong Kong official urges vaccinations as early summer flu season and peak likely
Hong Kong health officials are urging residents to get vaccinated as the city anticipates an early start to its summer flu season. The controller of the Centre for Health Protection noted a rise in influenza activity since May, suggesting the peak could occur as early as late June or July. This earlier onset is potentially linked to the absence of a typical winter flu season, which may have lowered public immunity and could lead to more severe cases. AI
