Flu cases surge as kids head back to school

New South Wales emergency departments are experiencing 400 presentations of influenza-like illnesses weekly, with cases surging by 40% in recent weeks. Health authorities are urging Australian parents to vaccinate their children before the return to school, particularly those at highest risk including children under five, people over 65, and those with chronic health conditions.
