Flu on the rise in Northeast Ohio

After a relatively uneventful start of flu season in the United States, it looks like the seasonal flu is finally starting to strike Northeast Ohio. The CDC is now showing that flu is widespread in 30 states - including Ohio.

"Cuyahoga County saw a doubling in flu cases last week, said Richard Stacklin, a researcher with the county Board of Health." The CDC this year offers a universal recommendation for flu vaccination. It's cheap, quick, and the most effective way of ensuring you don't get the flu this winter.
