It’s still early, but Tulsa County has more cases of hospitalizations because of flu than any other county in the state. No deaths, but there are now 14 cases of flu reported in Oklahoma since the flu season began October 2nd. Tulsa County leads the state with three hospitalizations reported. Kaitlin Snider with the Tulsa Health Department says getting a vaccine is the best way to try and avoid the influenza virus.

Last year was a fairly mild season in Oklahoma. Health experts are hoping for the same this year.
