Denton County Health Department’s hospital surveillance systems has noted a substantial increase in influenza activity in recent days. Area physicians have also started to see an increase in patients diagnosed with influenza. Schools around Denton County are reporting sporadic flu activity. Juan Rodriguez, Chief Epidemiologist for the Denton County Health Department, said, “I think we can officially say that flu season has started in Denton County, but we are still at the beginning.” Dr. Bing Burton, Director for the Denton County Health Department, added, “It is not too late for people to receive their flu vaccinations.” Denton County Health Department has flu vaccine in its Denton and Lewisville offices and will administer it during normal business hours on a walk-in basis. Flu shots will be available for the general public, but DCHD especially encourages those at high risk of complications from the flu to receive a flu vaccination. Those individuals that are considered high risk include: Children 6 months-5 years; Adults over the age of 50; Persons of any age with chronic medical conditions; Persons living in nursing homes or other long term care facilities; Pregnant women;·and Persons living with high risk individuals (such as a new born baby) The cost of the flu shot is $20, payable in cash only. Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP also will be accepted as payment. Vaccinations are not the only way to help prevent the flu. Here are steps individuals and families can take to stay healthy: The simplest and most effective way to stop the spread of the flu and many other diseases is to wash hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Rub sanitizer in hands until they are dry. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when people touch something that is contaminated with germs and then touch their eyes, nose or mouth. Cover the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. Always cough or sneeze into a tissue and throw it away to prevent the spread of the droplets, and then wash hands. If no tissue is available, cover the cough or sneeze into the crease of the elbow. Wash hands immediately after coughing or sneezing. “If you feel ill, stay home from work and keep sick kids home from school or daycare,” Rodriguez added. “This will help to reduce the spread of all illnesses this winter.” For additional information or for specific treatment options, residents should contact their individual health care provider.
