Flu season deadly


Sixteen people have died in what’s been London’s worst flu season in more than 12 years.
A more lethal flu strain and lower vaccination rates are to blame.
This year’s deaths are double those of last year, when the H1N1 pandemic flu hit the London and Middlesex area, killing eight people.
The latest death, a person under age 65, was reported this week by the Middlesex-London Health Unit.
