It’s the time of the year when the flu season in Singapore peaks.

Unlike temperate countries where flu season peaks during fall and winter, Singapore experiences influenza year-round due to its tropical climate. But, there are typically two peak seasons, occurring once from May to July and again, from November to January.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Hoe Wan Sin, General Practitioner from Parkway Shenton and Dr Zheng Lifeng, Deputy Clinical Lead for Respiratory Workgroup & Consultant, SingHealth Polyclinics share their insights on the current flu strains and what you should look out for.
