Influenza Epidemic Dims in Lubbock Amid Sharply Rising Absenteeism
Lubbock reports 93.1 percent attendance on Monday up from 90.14 on Thursday and about 91 on Friday. Superintendent Nat Williams says the rate remains two points below the seasonal average while flu remains not a major cause of absences. Texas Tech health officials note few students ill as the worst period was between Thanksgiving and Christmas. National flu deaths continue to rise with 3,594 in influenza pneumonia in 122 cities as the nation trends toward a peak in the next week or two. Vaccines for Hong Kong flu are expected next year and shots take about a month to confer resistance. Clinics report limited vaccine supplies but continue outreach to the elderly and most susceptible.
