Flu Cases Skyrocket
December 8, 2022
Get Vaccinated Now for Holiday Protection
Brewster, NY—For the second consecutive week, cases of influenza have jumped dramatically. There were 404 cases reported from November 27 to December 3, as compared to 186 cases for the week ending November 26 and just 56 cases for the week ending November 19. Half of the cases in the most recent reporting week are in school-aged children, five to 17 years of age. COVID numbers are also on the rise with 267 cases reported for the week ending December 3 as compared to 201 for the week ending November 26.
Influenza is a serious respiratory illness, as is COVID-19. Earlier this week the Centers for Disease Control reported that there have been 14 pediatric flu deaths in the U.S. so far this year. CDC estimates the number of annual flu deaths between 12,000 to 52,000, and hospitalizations from 140,000 to 710,000, based on actual ranges between 2010 and 2020.
The message is simple: get vaccinated for flu and COVID now because time is running out before the holidays. It takes nearly two weeks for the immune system to fully respond to a vaccine. The good news is that this year’s flu shot is proving to be a good fit for the currently circulating virus strains and both vaccines are readily available from healthcare providers or at local pharmacies. Other practices to prevent the spread of any respiratory illness include staying home when sick, frequent hand washing and covering all coughs and sneezes.
Public health initiatives work to address barriers to accessing basic healthcare, including vaccinations. Clinics are held in the Village of Brewster, supported by the NYSDOH Migrant and Seasonal Farm Worker (MSFW) program which ensures eligible residents receive access to vital vaccinations, while helping to address vaccine equity. The next MSFW clinic will be held on December 13, at its regular location, 121 Main Street. For more information on the MSFW program and to check eligibility, or to find out more about regularly immunization clinics at the health department, call 845-808-1390, x 43230.
The mission of the Putnam County Department of Health, nationally accredited by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), is to improve and protect the health of the entire Putnam County community, composed of nearly 100,000 residents. Core services are provided through a lens of equity, and include community health assessment, disease surveillance and control, emergency preparedness, environmental health protection, family health promotion and health education.
