According to officials with the Taylor County Health Department, there have only been 107 confirmed cases of the flu.
More than 1500 people have reported flu-like illnesses, but were not tested for the virus. They also say flu season typically peaks around this time of year, so they expect more cases to pop-up.
Officials say the best defense against getting the flu is getting vaccinated, but it takes up to two weeks for the vaccine to take effect.
