New Hampshire is seeing an increase in viruses including flu, COVID and RSV.  Health experts continue to advise everyone to be vaccinated.  Even though this year’s flu vaccine is not a perfect match for the current strain health officials have said it still offers protection from severe complications. A flu shot is recommended for everyone over the age of six months, especially the young, the elderly and those with chronic conditions and compromised immune systems.
