The Flu in Florida Moderately Severe
January 10th, 2013 by flanewsModerately severe; that’s how Florida Surgeon General John Armstrong is describing the state’s flu season.
Dr. Armstrong gave an update on the flu to members of the capital press corps this afternoon. Armstrong says it’s been 10 years since Florida experienced a flu season this severe, and already it’s worse than last year.
“Because that peak has shifted early we anticipate there will be increasing cases of Flu. So say the peak form last year has already occurred and so now we are going to eclipse that peak,” said Armstrong.
The flu season runs from October through May. Armstrong says there’s no shortage of vaccines. He’s says it’s not too late to get a flu shot.
