News from the Health Department:
Did you know that most flu is preventable? Diagnosed cases of influenza have dramatically increased over the last month in our region. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services believes that flu activity has not yet peaked in Wisconsin and that high influenza activity will continue well into April. The North Shore averaged one flu-associated hospitalization case each day last week (394 state wide) including patients of all age groups. Additionally, an area long term care facility had a small outbreak which was kept in check by mass vaccination in the fall, early diagnosis, prophylactic treatment of the exposed with TamiFlu and quick isolation of the ill.
The best way to prevent flu is to get the vaccination in the fall. However, it is not too late to receive the flu vaccine. It is still recommended if you are medically able. Even if you have been vaccinated, if you suspect you have the flu (sudden onset of fever, chills and cold-like symptoms accompanied by muscle aches), early diagnosis by a medical professional is essential as treatment to lessen symptoms is only provided within the first 48 hours. To learn more visit the
CDC or
DHS.
