“It's been about 10 years since a really, really, really bad flu outbreak, and we're there again,” said Mary Beth Miotto, president of the Massachusetts chapter of the American Academy of Pediatricians.
On Thursday, the Boston Public Health Commission warned residents of a rapid and “concerning” rise in flu cases in the city. Last week alone, the agency said, there were more than 700 cases of flu reported. The number was nearly three times as high as the worst week during the prior flu season.
The numbers do not surprise Miotto. They mirror what she has been seeing among her patients at the Mattapan Community Health Center, where she’s a pediatrician. Cathryn Hampson, president of the Massachusetts School Nurse Organization, said respiratory viruses are “running rampant” in schools and keeping school-based nurses busy, too. Many staff and students are out sick, she noted.
