There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Usually, information collected during past flu seasons help determine which variants influenza vaccines need to cover during the next season. But efforts to control the pandemic in 2020 meant more masking and social distancing, and that resulted in fewer flu cases. That means less information for the next round of flu shots, says M.G. Finn, Professor and Chair, and James A. Carlos Family Chair for Pediatric Technology in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Finn still recommends getting those flu shots later this year, as they will still help prevent illness.
