Grey Bruce Public Health is reporting the area’s first laboratory-confirmed flu case of the 2023-24 respiratory illness season.
A Grey County resident has tested positive for Influenza A, which they likely acquired during out-of-province travel.
This is an earlier-than-usual start to the flu-season in Grey-Bruce, compared to the years preceding the pandemic.
However, the first case of last year’s flu season was confirmed in late September.
The flu shot is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and older.
People can get the flu shot and the latest Covid-19 vaccine at the same time.
