The CDC reported on Friday that the flu is already sweeping 36 states and killed at least 70 people in the United States of America.
According to the British Daily Mail, the flu season officially begins in October but a very serious strain emerged this year, called "H3N2" now swept America.
The same strain was mainly responsible for injuring more than 1,000 people in Australia, where health officials estimated that vaccines only prevent 10 percent of the strains.
In the light of panic and fear of the efficacy of influenza vaccine, the CDC said that the US vaccine is expected to be 32 percent effective against the H3N2 virus but this week has seen very active flu in 21 provinces.
An estimated 9.2 million Americans have been infected with flu every year since 2010.
Among these estimates, the CDC estimates that up to 56,000 people have died of viral infection in a given year.
H3N2 was responsible for the worst flu seasons in the United States in recent years, including spells 2006-2007, 2012-2013 and 2014-2015.
As of this week, there was a "high activity" of influenza which is the highest prevalence in nearly half of the United States, and Texas is the most numerous among 21 states, the H3N2 have accounted for between 66% and 75% of the positive influenza tests reported by the Department of Health.
So far, 512 SARS cases have been reported to the CDC this year.
The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended three main antibiotics: oseltamivir (sold under the brand name Tamifol), Zanamivir (Rilenza), and Berramir, all effective against the influenza strain this year.
