In the past 30 days, Pikeville Medical Center has diagnosed 4,500 patients with flu. Doctors at the newly implemented PMC flu clinic say it's only going to get worse before it gets better. We've seen more and more cases come through, especially the colder it gets, the more damp it gets. We start getting snowfall. People tend to stay indoors and spread their diseases to other folks. Peak flu season lasts through the end of January and occasionally into February. But as long as it stays cold, that's going to be the most prime time for transmission of viruses. The number one prevention for flu is getting an annual flu shot. Dr. Klein adds, typically if you get a flu shot, the chances of you obtaining the virus significantly decrease. If you happen to catch the flu after receiving the shot, doctors say your symptoms are usually not as severe. Wash your hands frequently, especially if you interact with the public. Go out to the public. If you feel unwell, you know, you start to have fever, chills, a cough, runny nose, comensias. There are treatment options for the flu, but it also requires a timely diagnosis. If you feel unwell, especially if a family member is sick or you are around someone who is sick or coughing, it's best to get checked out. If you have prior medical problems with your lungs, your heart, typically flu is worse on those patients than if they didn't have those past medical problems. Pikeville Medical Center's flu clinic is open Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. In Pikeville, Shelby Porter, EKB News.
