Flu Q&A

9 On Your Side will be hosting a LIVE chat tonight with representatives from the Hamilton County Health Department and Northern Kentucky Health Department, and a doctor from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center to answer questions you may have about the flu.

This year's flu outbreak has reached severe levels in many parts of the Tri-State, and it has led to many questions: Why is this year's outbreak so bad? How effective are flu shots? What else can be done to avoid contracting the illness?

Join us here on WCPO.com beginning at 5 p.m. for a LIVE chat with medical professionals to help answer those questions and any other inquiries you may have about this year's influenza outbreak.
