The Government of New Brunswick has released updated influenza numbers and cases have risen.

Between August last year and February 15th. There have been 399 cases of the influenza A strain and 874 of Influenza B reported.

During the same time period, 124 people have been hospitalized.

Five people have died with ailments associated with the flu.

Officials say it is not too late to get a flu shot, but New Brunswick is one of three provinces where the cost of the shot is not covered for everyone.
