The spike in flu cases has been observed over the past few weeks. Health experts recommend that residents receive their flu vaccinations, especially those in vulnerable populations, including the elderly and young children. The flu season typically peaks between December and February, making this an important time for preventive measures.

In previous flu seasons, similar upticks have been noted, prompting public health campaigns to raise awareness about the flu and its potential complications. This year, the importance of vaccination is emphasized to help protect community health and reduce hospital visits.
Residents can find more information about flu vaccinations and available clinics by visiting the county health department’s website or contacting their local healthcare provider. Vaccination clinics are expected to remain open throughout the flu season.
