Cuomo signs executive order to combat widespread flu epidemic
Muskogee schools are not the only entity in the region hit hard by the flu. Jamie Dukes, department spokeswoman, said for a comparable period past year, only a handful of Muskogee County flu hospitalizations had been reported.
Sparks says the hospital is seeing a large number of people coming into the emergency room with signs and symptoms of the flu.
The Louisiana DOH said that "community flu clinics that are scheduled for next Wednesday are open to the public, and walk-ups are welcome". So far this season the state has attributed 12 deaths in the east central region to flu or flu-like symptoms, she said. The health department recommends yearly vaccinations for those older than 6 months. "We want to stress to parents to keep sick children at home to prevent spreading".
The latest announcement marked the first time that the state has declared flu activity in MA to be "high".
The latest data also showed a continued rise in flu-associated hospitalizations in MA.
Flu activity has also been classified as geographically "widespread" in the state for weeks, meaning the virus has infected people in many corners of the state.
Compared to the previous week, the number of reported hospitalizations decreased by 13 (3 percent), but the number of reported deaths increased by eight (88.9 percent).

"A lot of individuals have not had that vaccine in addition to a flu vaccine", said Valerie Sparks, Infection Prevention & Control Coordinator at Midland Memorial Hospital.
Vaccine effectiveness depends on how well the virus strains in the vaccine match the strains that are circulating and other factors including the individual's age and immune system's response. "But they are usually are able to get it the next day", said Sparks.
Other prevention measures are: staying away from people who are sick; covering sneezes or coughs with a tissue or your elbow area; avoiding touching the eyes, nose and mouth; and frequent handwashing.
