Flu season hasn’t arrived in Nebraska, yet. And state health officials say that gives Nebraskans time to get their flu shots.
State Epidemiologist Dr. Tom Safranek says health practitioners throughout Nebraska have been on the look out for the start of the flu season. . .

Safranek says the best way to combat the flu is to get the flu shot.

Safranek says the decision of what virus is put into the vaccine has to be made in February, nearly a year before the flu season arrives.
