2h agoNew research finds this
year's flu shot may not be a match for the flu variant that's currently going
around.
Doctors say this flu season
could get severe.
"The kind that's going to be predominant is one that causes the
most severe flu, and so probably it's going to be a bad year for
influenza," says Dr. Bill Petri, with the University of Virginia Health.
Doctors say getting the flu shot will still offer some protection
against serious illness.
The CDC says the flu can kill up to 52,000 people a year.
