Beware of the Flu🤒

Flu cases remain high in California, with Kern County seeing a 20% increase. Experts link the surge to holiday gatherings and warn flu season may not have peaked yet. Other viruses, including COVID-19 and RSV, are also circulating. Doctors urge flu vaccinations, as the season lasts through March. If symptoms worsen or breathing issues arise, seek medical care.
