Information Concerning the Flu

Since September 2025, seven people have been confirmed to have died of flu in Maryland, and more than 1,940 people with lab-confirmed flu have been hospitalized. Respiratory virus-associated hospitalization has now exceeded 10 per every 100,000.

If you haven't already, consider getting a flu vaccine- they're proven to decrease the severity of flu symptoms. The Health Department hosts a vaccine clinic every Tuesday. Call 410-535-5400, x334 to learn more or to schedule a flu shot.

Practicing healthy habits can lessen the spread of respiratory illness, such as:

  • avoiding close contact with sick people;
  • washing hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer;
  • and covering your cough or sneeze with your sleeve or tissue.
