A spike in flu cases has resulted in a mask mandate at Banner Health facilities starting on Jan. 1.

"Unfortunately, this year, the vaccine is not a perfect match for the most dominant strain that is circulating," the Banner Health Chief Clinical Officer said. "So one of the Type A influenza strains that is circulating is not a perfect match for the vaccine. The vaccine still will provide protection for the most terrible outcomes, which is hospitalization and death from influenza."

FOX 10’s Megan Spector breaks down this new requirement this New Year.
