Heading into a busy and social holiday period, Renfrew County's top doctor says despite a triple threat of infectious diseases spreading, the flu is his new top priority.
"It's much more important to get a flu shot right now," says Dr. Robert Cushman, the county's acting medical officer of health.
The acknowledgement comes shortly after Cushman made a call on the province to reinstate a mask mandate. "The real concern is the flu , and of course our flu shot rate is very low. We haven't seen the likes of the flu since 2018."
