The average age of this year’s fatal flu victim is 75. New stats out today show another jumped into the number of people who have died from the flu in Oklahoma. The State Health Department says seniors are at the most risk.

65 people have died from the flu this season in Oklahoma. 2,600 people have been hospitalized because of the flu.

While that number is high, it is actually down from last year’s record number of fatalities and hospitalizations.
