With high flu cases in both districts, Public Health Sudbury and Public Health Algoma, are both strongly encouraging the public to their flu shots and/or COVID boosters.
Dr. Imran Adrian Khan of Sudbury Public Health says there have been over 300 flu cases since December 16th, a 20-year high for the district.
He adds, they are also seeing ongoing COVID-19 transmission and illness, so he encourages the public to get their immunizations as soon as possible.
