Flu comes early to Georgia

The first cases of flu have arrived in Georgia. Clinics in east Georgia report a few positive flu tests on Friday and Monday. Experts say this is a little early, and that Christmas is usually when doctors start to see the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta call this National Influenza Vaccination week to urge people to get vaccinated.
