Australian pathology laboratories reported some 9,594 cases of flu during the June 2015 quarter, compared with just 4,591 in the previous corresponding period. Influenza Specialist Group chairman Alan Hampson says anecdotal evidence suggests that Australians have contracted flu earlier than usual in 2015. In contrast, Primary Health Care recently attributed lower patient numbers during the quarter to factors such as a less severe cold and flu season.
