Queensland is again bracing for another horror flu season, with some areas in the South East already recording nearly a 40 percent spike in cases.
Brisbane’s north, Logan and the Redlands are home to most influenza cases, up 12 to 15 percent on the same time last year, while the Gold Coast has seen the biggest increase of 38 percent with 419 cases so far this year.
The Australian Medical Association Queensland’s Vice President Jim Finn urges Queensland residents to get the flu vaccine which this year includes the deadly Brisbane strain, along with three others.
