Get the H1N1 shot, health officials urge

WINNIPEG - Provincial health officials are encouraging Manitobans who haven’t been vaccinated against H1N1 influenza to get the shot.

Manitoba’s chief medical officer, Dr. Joel Kettner, said he doesn’t know if the peak of the second wave of H1N1 has hit or when the wave will end.

He said the disease continues to spread across the province, and another 703 cases of H1N1 were reported between Nov. 16 to 23.

Manitoba has now reported a total of 1,246 lab confirmed cases of H1N1, and two deaths.
