State Health Officials Say Flu Widespread

ISTOCKPHOTO

  State health officials said the flu season came early to Kentucky this year and will continue for several months.

Flu is now widespread in Kentucky, meaning there are flu-outbreaks in half of Kentucky’s regions. Getting a flu shot is the best protection against getting the illness.

 

Shots are available in many retail pharmacies and at local public health departments.

 

A preventative vaccine is especially important for the very young, the elderly or people with chronic health conditions.
