    Experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are saying that this year’s flu shot formulation is a good match for the virus going around, and that right now is a great time to get the vaccination, because we’re just about to hit our peak of infections.

    In Pennsylvania, more than 11,000 lab-positive cases have been reported by the health department — with more than 7,000 flu coming in the last two weeks of December).

    The Delaware Division of Public Health has confirmed a total of 441 cases — including a jump of 132 cases in the last week of December.
