The NHS has issued a "flu jab SOS" as fears grow that this will be the worst flu season in a decade. The World Influenza Centre at the Francis Crick Institute is tracking the evolution of the virus, which mutates constantly. Director Prof Nicola Lewis warns that the situation is concerning, but not yet panicking. As of now, the mutated flu virus has not been confirmed to be widespread, but health officials are on high alert. The flu season typically starts in December, but this year it has begun in November.
