LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Don't let the warm weather fool you.
This year's flu season is starting earlier and hitting harder than it has in almost a decade.

The Metro Health department says it has already seen its first reports of the flu this season.
And nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control says the strain circulating this year is more severe.
The good news is that this year's flu vaccine is a 90 percent match for circulating strains.
The prime flu season runs from October through April.
