The flu season is officially here, and medical professionals are doing all they can to prevent a repeat of last year’s severe outbreak, mostly due to a nationally-produced vaccine that was not as effective as planned.

            Dr. Lee Norman is the chief medical officer at The University of Kansas Hospital, and in this video, he talks about this year’s flu season, how the vaccine this year differs from last year’s, why everyone should get a flu shot, whether or not there are any side effects from a flu shot and the different kinds of flu vaccine available.
