PITTSBURGH (Newsradio KDKA) - Flu season is upon us, and the director of the Allegheny County Health Department, Dr. Debra Bogen, dropped by the KDKA studios this morning to deliver an important message: Time to get your flu shot.
"We're expecting this year to be much more of the typical, where people do get respiratory illnesses like the flu," Bogen said during the KDKA Radio Morning Show. "We've already seen a couple of cases of influenza this year in the community."
Bogen and County Executive Rich Fitzgerald both received their seasonal flu shots this morning.
