Seasonal flu clinics in Northumberland County will begin earlier than usual this year.
The Health Unit’s Medical Officer of Health, Doctor Lynn Noseworthy, says the decision to start in October was made as a result of consultations among 36 of her counterparts and Ontario’s Medical Officer of Health.
Swine flu clinics would be held in late November into December if they are found to be necessary.
Eighteen people in the health unit area, covering Northumberland, Haliburton County, and city of Kawartha Lakes have had H-1-N-1 since it began in April.
