HSE chief Dr Colm Henry recently raised concern about the steep rise in Covid-19 cases, as well as influenza and other respiratory illness at this time. Getting a vaccine “whether it’s your next Covid-19 booster, or a flu vaccine” is the best way to protect yourself, the people around you and the health services, he said.
In the week ending on December 24th, 2,329 flu cases were reported, compared to 1,174 the previous week. People needing hospital admission for flu jumped to 637, from 299 the previous week. Covid-19 cases increased to 3,809, compared to 3,118 the previous week, with 737 people in hospital with Covid-19.
