A grim prediction from public health officials in this province — the deputy chief medical officer of health says the number of cases of H-1-N-1 flu will increase in the coming weeks — and — the number of people hospitalized will be on the upswing as well.
Dr Paul Van Buynder says 41-cases have been confirmed — double the number last week — but — based on information from other jurisidictions — that may just be the tip of the iceberg and the number may actually be in the hundreds.
Van Buynder says plans are in place for a vaccination program once supplies of the anti-virus are in place by early December.
Meantime — a person hospitalized last week with the so called Swine Flu has been released.
