LOOKS LIKE AN EARLY START TO THE FLU SEASON IN NEW MEXICO. THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS A 60 YEAR OLD BERNALILLO COUNTY MAN IS THE FIRST REPORTED CASE OF THE YEAR. IN 2012 THE FIRST FLU CASE DIDN'T SHOW UP UNTIL NOVEMBER.
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS EVERYONE OVER THE AGE OF 6 MONTHS SHOULD GET A SHOT. IT ALSO SAYS IT'S TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE HOW SEVERE THE FLU SEASON WILL BE THIS YEAR.
