A half-dozen new cases of flu in Oklahoma are reported in the past week, but no deaths in the state so far this year. Tony Sellers with the State Department of Health says it makes 16 hospitalizations to date, which is about on par with last year.
It’s not too late to get a shot. Sellers says choosing the right vaccine is a guessing game, but it’s expected this year’s batch will be more effective than last year’s. The very young and those age 60 and older are most vulnerable.
