H1N1 Update
January 12th, 2010 by Mike VasilindaState officials continue to caution people to be vaccinated against swine and seasonal flu. The number of cases has been tapering off, but officials caution there could be yet a third wave of infection through April. And for the first time in months, state health doctors are reporting good news.
“Last week, Florida reported no laboratory confirmed deaths from H1N1 flu,” Florida Surgeon General Dr. Ana Viamonte Ros said. “This is the very first time, in many months, that we have been able to report this very good news. While this is encouraging information, we must continue to fight against the flu and we ask all Floridians to consider getting their H1N seasonal flu vaccinations.
Vaccines supplies for both seasonal and swine flu are good and can be obtained at county heath offices.
