A grim prediction from public health officials in this province -- the deputy chief medical officer of health says the number of cases of H-1-N-1 flu will increase in the coming weeks -- and -- the number of people hospitalized will be on the upswing as well.
Dr Paul Van Buynder says 41-cases have been confirmed -- double the number last week -- but -- based on information from other jurisidictions -- that may just be the tip of the iceberg and the number may actually be in the hundreds.
Van Buynder says plans are in place for a vaccination program once supplies of the anti-virus are in place by early December.
Meantime -- a person hospitalized last week with the so called Swine Flu has been released.
