New Flu Strain in Iowa

Iowa's Department of Public health says it's turned up a new flu strain in its regular monitoring. It's been identified as the A/H3N2. Three children had it and they've all recovered. According to KCCI, the new strains turned up in several other states, but its' spread so far appears limited. Because the virus is unique, health officials have stepped up monitoring. Officials say the seasonal flu vaccine may offer some protection.
