Is the "Super Flu" real? Discover why the 2025-2026 flu season is breaking records with millions of cases and a dominant new strain called Subclade K.
The 2025-2026 respiratory season has proven to be one of the most challenging in over 30 years, with the CDC reporting over 19 million infections. The primary driver behind this surge is a mutated H3N2 variant known as Subclade K. This strain emerged after the year’s vaccine components were already selected, leading to a significant "antigenic drift" that has allowed the virus to bypass some existing immunity and spread more rapidly through communities.
In this video, we analyze the critical factors contributing to this year's severity, including muted vaccine effectiveness—estimated at 30-40% for adults—and a decline in childhood vaccination rates. We’ll also break down the impact of this H3N2 predominance, which historically leads to higher hospitalization rates among seniors and young children. Understanding how this "drifted" virus behaves is essential for navigating the current public health landscape and protecting high-risk individuals.
