Though Flu season holds no novelty and is not something for which people wait desperately and eagerly. But still, it has to arrive every year just like death, taxes and many more undesirable events.

The peak flu season for 2012 is running a bit late, and all credit goes to the weather conditions that are comparatively user-friendly this year when compared to weather conditions recorded during the same period last year. The doctors have also confirmed reports claiming that the flu season is running a bit behind schedule.

While confirming reports of delays in the flu season this year, Dr. Harold Laski claimed: "You have a difference between when people are out and when people are not out. When they're inside, they're in contact with each other, and therefore they can pass it much easier".

In high-rated expectations, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) recently released a record number of drugs to combat the flu in the nick of time. Laski suggests getting a flu jab in order to steer clear of any sort of unfriendly situation.

However, a survey conducted in November by the CDC claims that most people are not likely to go for it.

However, the flu shot hardly accounts for one aspect as it holds no account when it comes to a new range of the swine flu. The spate is nowhere close to the magnitude of spread seen earlier in 2009 when H1N1 played carnage all over the region. But still, health authorities are anxious regarding the fact that the situation can go critical anytime, and therefore there's need for reinforcing the prevention approach ahead of time.

The survey by CDC further highlighted the fact that only 36% of people in America avail the flu jabs. On the other hand, it is highly being urged by medical officials that people over the age of 65 are deemed at high threat of getting afflicted with complications popping out of seasonal flu, together with kids as young as 2 years, health care workers, pregnant women and patients struggling from any type of chronic disorders such as asthma or cancer.
