Influenza

Honduras's Health Ministry has issued an alert over a marked increase in H3N2 seasonal influenza cases linked to low vaccination rates and poor household hygiene, urging at-risk groups including children under five and elderly people to seek immediate care if symptomatic and to get vaccinated.

Health authorities in the capital have set up vaccination clinics at shopping malls, supermarkets, and the national university to increase access to flu, tetanus, and measles shots, responding to two imported measles cases confirmed in Honduras.
