FRANKFORT, KY (FOX19) -
Influenza is now widespread in Kentucky, the Kentucky Department for Public Health said Tuesday.
Widespread activity is the highest level of flu activity, which indicates increased flu-like activity or flu outbreaks in at least half of the regions in the state. The activity was previously ranked as regional, a lower classification.
"With current widespread flu activity being reported in Kentucky and across much of the nation, now is a good time to protect yourself and your family by getting vaccinated for flu," said Dr. Stephanie Mayfield, commissioner of the Department for Public Health.
