DON’T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN. THAT’S BASICALLY THE MESSAGE FROM THE NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AS FAR AS THE FLU IS CONCERNED. DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN DAVID MORGAN SAYS THE FLU SEASON APPEARS TO HAVE PEAKED AND FLU ACTIVITY WILL GO DOWN OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
HOWEVER, THE FLU HAS TAKEN IT’S TOLL, WITH 34 FLU-RELATED DEATHS, ALL ADULTS, AND 100 PNEUMONIA-RELATED DEATHS. MORGAN SAYS, DESPITE THE FLU HAVING HIT ITS PEAK IT IS STILL ADVISABLE TO GET A FLU SHOT.
