GPs warned to brace for another early flu season
Professor Ian Barr says the seasonality of influenza may have been altered by COVID-19.
A record number of flu cases have been reported for the start of 2024 and could be a sign of another early peak to the season this winter, according to a leading influenza expert.
Nearly 30,000 cases of influenza were reported to the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System between January and March this year, which was the highest level for the same period since the 2019 season.
