Peak for Sask. flu cases expected in coming weeks
Less than 25 per cent of Saskatchewan residents have had the flu shot this winter – and it’s almost peak time for cases.
“We have seen an increase in influenza cases in the last couple of weeks, and we expect flu activity will continue through March,” said Dr. Saqib Shahab, the province’s chief medical health officer
“I encourage everyone to get a flu shot if they haven’t already. This season’s vaccine is a good match for circulating strains, including H3N2.”
There has been one flu-related death in the province this flu season.
