""It seems like we've turned a bit of a corner," Ojikutu said."
""Everyone ages six months and older should be vaccinated for influenza and for Covid-19," Ojikutu said."
"Ojikutu said Wednesday that the number of cases in Boston is now decreasing from its high point earlier this month."
"As of Feb. 13, only 37% of Boston residents had received the flu vaccine, with the lowest prevalence among the 20-34 age group."
This winter has seen a significant rise in influenza cases in Boston, surpassing numbers from the previous two seasons, particularly among older age groups. Monitoring of wastewater indicates a rising concentration of the virus, even as cases began to decrease from a peak earlier in February. Dr. Bisola Ojikutu advises the community on the importance of vaccination, especially with low overall flu vaccination rates of just 37% in Boston, and urges residents to participate in local vaccination clinics.
