Flu Update

Canada's chief public health officer says an early spike in a strain of influenza B this flu season has sent more children to hospital.  Doctor Theresa Tam says influenza B doesn't usually peak until February or later, but the strain is circulating across the country, along with a strain of influenza A, which typically targets the elderly. She says the double dose of both influenza A and B strains has not been seen in Canada since 2015.
