Despite zero Albertans dying from the flu in the entire month of February, Alberta Health Services still says you should get your shot.
The fortunate streak of no fatalities goes back even further to Jan. 17 for the Central Zone, where there have been just nine all season.
There have been 28 province-wide.
“The influenza that is circulating this year has largely been determined to be one of the common strains, Influenza A, but we will not be able to comment on the effectiveness of the vaccine until the season is over,” says Mohammed Mosli, Medical Officer of Health for the Central Zone.
