San Diego County reports increase in flu cases

SAN DIEGO - San Diego County reported 121 new lab-confirmed influenza cases Wednesday, bringing the total case count for this season to 1,941, which is more than double the number reported at this time last season.

"It is not too late to get vaccinated against the flu and protect ourselves and others from getting sick," Wooten added. From 2020-21, the county reported 848 influenza cases and two deaths. During the 2019-20 flu season, the county reported over 20,700 flu cases and 108 deaths. The CDC also says that a person can get a flu and COVID-19 vaccination at the same time. The coronavirus vaccine does not work against influenza and vice versa, county officials said.
