Flu season is coming early in parts of the United States: This time last year, flu cases were lower in Philadelphia than they are now, according to data on Google's Flu Trends. (Roxborough-Manayunk-specific data is not available on Flu Trends.)
Overall in Pennsylvania, activity is considered high now, while it was considered moderate at this time in 2011, according to Flu Trends.
If you're considering getting a flu shot, here are some places in Roxborough-Manayunk that offer the vaccine (besides your own doctor, of course):
- CVS—Main Street, Domino Lane, Ridge Avenue, Port Royal
- Acme—Roxborough
- Super Fresh
- ShopRite
- Rite Aid—Roxborough and Andorra
According to this week's CDC Flu activity report, influenza levels are on the increase across the country.
Five states – Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee – are reporting flu rates not normally seen until January, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The flu season normally peaks in January and February.
Holiday travel and more time spent indoors due to soggy weather will contribute to the spread of the flu virus, so now is the time to get vaccinated.
