Flu Shots

Monday, 28 January 2013

The number of flu deaths in Illinois has risen to 58.

State health officials say more than 530 people with the flu have been admitted to hospital intensive care units so far this season.

They say all of the deaths but one were people 50 or older.

This year's main flu strain tends to make people sicker, and public health officials continue to encourage people to get vaccinated.

Flu typically includes a fever and respiratory problems such as cough, sore throat, and a runny or stuffy nose.
