Israel Has Led The Way: Is New Jersey Next? Introducing, ‘Flurona’. A pregnant woman in Israel has contracted both the flu and COVID-19 simultaneously. She is unvaccinated.
As the flu season that wasn’t comes to a close, a New Jersey epidemiologist suggests that perhaps people should consider wearing masks again next winter, even if the novel coronavirus pandemic is behind us.
"Meningitis B is very serious not only because of how highly-contagious it is, but also how quickly it can progress if not detected and treated early on," said Dr. Richard Bezozo, CEO of Linden-based Care Station Medical Group.
Flu activity has gotten so serious the head of the New Jersey Health Department is making a direct appeal to New Jerseyans to get vaccinated if they haven’t already done so.
New Jersey has had 21,831 confirmed influenza cases since the beginning of October, compared to 9,969 confirmed influenza cases last year at this time.
