The flu season is turning out to be one of the mildest in a few years--that comes from data of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Officials say one reason may be the good-match of flu vaccine with the circulating flu viruses. Flu related deaths were down in both adults and children significantly this year, compared to the severity of the 2007-2008 season. A record 146-million doses of flu vaccine were given in this 2008-2009 winter season.
