The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this year's flu season is starting earlier and hitting harder than it has in nearly a decade. The CDC and Oklahoma City Indian Clinic offered free flu shots Wednesday to the public at Mark Twain Elementary School for National Influenza Vaccination Week, a national observance established to highlight the importance of influenza vaccination. This year's National Influenza Vaccination Week started Sunday and runs through Saturday.
