NWHU FLU

The Northwestern Health Unit says its continuing to work on plans for the upcoming flu season.

Staff are meeting this week in part to get ready for what's expected to be a busy flu season.

Dr. Jim Arthurs is the acting medical officer of health and says while plans are important, they also have to be flexible.

Arthurs adds that he's not planning any widespread immunization program for the schools this fall, even though people aged 5-20 are thought to be the most at risk for the swine flu.
