The number of hospitalizations for flu this season is almost double the number of hospitalizations from the same time period last year.

In the last week of December alone, there were nearly 400 new hospitalizations related to flu. Eighty-six of those were in Southern Ohio. Flu symptoms include fever, sore throat, headaches, and chills.

Doctors say the best treatment is prevention.

“Getting the flu vaccine is the safest and most effective way to prevent the flu for everyone 6 months and older,” said Dr. Mark Hurst, Medical Director at Ohio Department of Health. “Flu hospitalizations could still be on the rise. You need to protect yourself, your friends and your family and get a flu shot now if you haven’t already.”

There are no reported flu vaccine shortages across Ohio.

ODH also stressed the importance of washing hands, using hand sanitizer, making sure to cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough, and staying home if you’re sick.

“If you are sick with the flu, stay home. Start the new year off right by helping to protect others when you are not feeling well,” Dr. Hurst said.

Kentucky is also dealing with widespread flu with1,622 laboratory-confirmed flu cases in regions across the state this flu season and four deaths.

More information about flu and flu activity in Ohio is available at www.flu.ohio.gov.
