Flu Case Numbers Are High in Sweetwater County

State health officials say this is the worst flu season in three years. Jean Brunz, Public Health Nurse for Sweetwater County says that while it has not officially been called an epidemic, all across the state, the numbers are getting high and it has some health officials baffled.






Brunz highly recommends getting the flu vaccine, if you haven't yet. And keep in mind, it takes about two weeks for the flu shot to take effect.






Laramie and Cheyenne are now out of influenza vaccine and do not expect to get more. To make an appointment to get yours at either the Green River or Rock Springs Sweetwater County Community Nursing locations, call call (307) 922-5390 or (307) 872-3944.
