First flu cases reported in Rockland

November

The first flu cases have been reported this year in the Lower Hudson Valley. Patients in Rockland have had laboratory confirmed cases of influenza, according to the “New York State Department of Health”:http://www.health.state.ny.us/diseases/communicable/influenza/surveillance/map/2008-2009/2008-11-08/. No cases have been reported yet in Westchester or Putnam. The flu season lasts until March, so it’s still not too late to get a flu shot.
