If you’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately, here’s some good news.
Doctors claim the worst of the flu season is now behind us, following a spike in the number of reported influenza cases in the last fortnight.

“Influenza can hit any time between July and September usually, that’s when the peak occurs. I think this is pretty typical, but probably worse for children than what we’ve seen for many years.”
