Seven more people are hospitalized in Oklahoma with flu in the past week, bringing the total this season to 34. Tulsa County continues to lead the state with ten, more than double the next nearest…Oklahoma County with four. The State Health Department’s Tony Sellars says it’s too early to determine how bad this flu season will be, but recommends shots now because it takes a couple of weeks before the vaccine is effective.
All but ten of the hospitalizations are in the age group 50 years and older. No deaths are reported so far.
