Flu

The Ocean County Health Department is now urging everyone to do their part to help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses, like flu and COVID-19 at the same time by getting a flu shot, remaining socially distant in public and wearing a mask as we head into the fall.

It seems that in today’s world health is a big topic, especially with the Coronavirus Pandemic causing some much trouble and now fall flu season is right around the corner.....or as it’s being dubbed “twindemic” the combination of Covid 19 and flu season.

Two children have died from the flu so far this year in New Jersey, state officials said Tuesday.

The State Health Commissioner makes a direct appeal to all Jersey residents

The flu season could wind up stretching into May.

A new report finds influenza cases are still on an upswing, but there is some good news

This flu season is no joke. As soon as I boarded my flight I used wipes to disinfect the tray table, belt buckle and arm rest. And I offered a fresh wipe to the person sitting next to me. I don't want to get sick again so I even put on a hospital mask on the plane!

More positive cases are confirmed, and another NJ child has died.

The Elizabeth girl is the third person to be confirmed with a fatal case of the flu as the number dead grows again.
