Australia has had record flu cases this year – and that’s before winter arrives. What’s going on?

<https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/may/23/flu-record-cases-vaccination-australia>

"Australia is being struck by a surge in respiratory illnesses, with record
breaking inter-seasonal flu cases since the start of the year.

However, flu remains the “underdog of infectious diseases”, in that people
underestimate its severity, and as a result vaccinations rates remain
stubbornly low, Prof Julie Leask from the University of Sydney says.

What are the case numbers and how can you protect yourself?"
