Flu Season 2025: What Healthcare Facilities Need to Know

As temperatures drop and waiting rooms begin to fill, healthcare providers are preparing for another active flu season. Every year, the flu impacts millions across the U.S., and the facilities that plan ahead are the ones that stay protected, efficient, and ready.

This year, DNA Distributors is helping hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and urgent care centers strengthen their defenses and ensure they are fully stocked for the months ahead.

Why Preparation Matters More Than Ever

Higher Patient Volume

Flu cases typically spike between October and March. Many hospitals experience a 30–50% increase in patient load during peak months.

Protecting Healthcare Staff

Frontline workers face repeated exposure. Keeping them safe ensures continuity of care and prevents staffing shortages.

Supply Shortages Still Occur

During busy months, essential medical supplies may be delayed or backordered. Items often affected include:

  • Nitrile gloves

  • Isolation gowns

  • Masks

  • Disinfectant and cleaning supplies

  • Medication prep and patient-care materials

Strategic stocking helps facilities avoid last-minute shortages.
