One more case of hospitalization in Oklahoma because of the flu is reported in the past week. It’s still early in the season, so LeAnne Stephens with the Tulsa Health Department recommends taking steps to minimize your risk of getting the flu, including getting the vaccine which is the most effective way to protect yourself.
The very young and those over 60 are most susceptible. So far this year, 17 cases of flu hospitalizations have been reported in Oklahoma, with one in Tulsa County. No deaths are yet recorded in the state this flu season.
