New data shows that nearly 40 percent of those hospitalized for flu illnesses in West Georgia require breathing support to stay alive, according to Pam Fair of the West Central Health District.
It is mostly those with chronic illnesses that end up hospitalized for flu in West Georgia.
This news comes as the rest of the state has seen record highs in hospitalizations since September, outpacing the rest of the nation. Most of those hospitalized are unvaccinated adults.
Free H1N1 vaccines are still available at the health department: 2100 Comer Ave., 2nd Floor, in Columbus.
