The flu came early and fierce this season, and Vermont doctors are still seeing new cases in their waiting rooms. Wednesday on Vermont Edition, we learn if flu season is on the wane in our region, and how effective the state’s prevention efforts have been. Our guests is Chris Finely, the Health Department’s chief immunization officer. We also check in with doctors at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington, and Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.
Tell us what you did to stay healthy during flu season – at home and at work. Post below or write to vermontedition@vpr.net
