Flu season for doctors in the Bluegrass is far from over.

"Lots and lots of kids with the high fevers, dry cough, running nose, teary eyes, and aching. Lots of school absenteeism," says Dr. Katrina Hood. The pediatrician with Pediatric and Adolescent Associates says their flu cases peaked just last week. Out of the last 20 patients she's seen, eight of them got a flu shot.

"The hope is that we catch all the ones that might circulate, but you never know, as mobile as this population is, what's going around the world you never really can predict," says Dr. Hood.

She advises her otherwise healthy patients to find alternate ways of dealing with flu symptoms, and not to buy Tamiflu. She says there's a shortage of Tamiflu because of the recent rise in cases, and the drug is for individuals with asthma and cardiac disease.
