72 influenza cases have been identified in the 11 cities and towns of the Uncas Health District this flu season, according to December 9, 2023, data from the Connecticut Department of Health. This week’s reported numbers mark an increase of 18 cases from the reporting period ending December 2, 2023.
It is important to note that influenza cases are only reported if there is a hospitalization or if the positive test comes from a minor.
Flu cases are likely to continue rising throughout the winter months, so it is important to get your flu vaccination if you have not already.
Uncas Health District will be offering a number of Flu Vaccine Clinics throughout December.
