The Centers For Disease Control is calling the influenza an epidemic, with high flu-like activity being reported in 22 states and 15 pediatric deaths in the US thus far.
One year ago there were 21 reported cases of the flu here in Massachusetts. This year there are 1400 cases reported so far, and the experts say it will get worse.
An email was sent around our offices here at FUN 107 a few weeks ago, asking if there was any interest in having a local pharmacy come in on a certain day and administer flu shots.
