Flu cases have spiked in Wisconsin and cases in Fond du Lac County are also up sharply. Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer Kim Mueller says she doesn’t believe the flu season has peaked yet. “We’ve had over a thousand individuals in Fond du Lac tested and of those tested we’ve seen a little over 200 that are positive for either influenza A or influenza B,” Mueller told WFDL news. Mueller says the bottom line is the vaccine is still the best defense against the flu and there is still plenty of vaccine available. Mueller says in addition to getting a flu shot there are other steps that can help avoid spreading viruses including washing your hands frequently, covering your mouth when you sneeze and staying home if you do get sick to prevent spreading the virus.
