WI Sees Flu Cases on Rise

Wisconsin health officials are keeping an eye on rising cases of respiratory illnesses across the state. 

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is tracking flu, COVID-19, and RSV.  Last winter, Wisconsin saw a 211-percent spike in flu-related hospitalizations from late December to late January, right after the holidays.  Official say its a reminder of how fast these viruses can spread once gatherings pick up.  DHS data show less than a quarter of the state’s population have received a flu shot.  About nine percent have gotten the updated COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccination rates among young children and older adults are below state goals.
