PORTLAND, Oregon (KPTV) Before the start of flu season, health officials and hospitals pled with Oregonians to take this flu season seriously.
“If we have a bad influenza season hitting on top of Covid-19, we’re really going to overwhelm our hospitals. So, now, in particular, it’s important to prevent the one disease that we have a vaccine to prevent right now, which is influenza,” Dr. Paul Cieslak with the Oregon Health Authority said back in October 2020.
During flu season, the OHA has published weekly reports about the state’s flu data. To date, the OHA reported there has been no reports of flu hospitalizations.
