Flu’s Return Bugging East Valley Residents

The flu has arrived in the East Valley, Arizona, but local experts say it’s too early to tell if it’s going to be another bad year like the last one. “Every year is completely different,” said Jeanene Fowler, spokesperson for the Maricopa County Health Department. “There’s so many variables that play into the flu season that it takes a crystal ball. Flu is always changing.” Maricopa County has already received its first reports of the season.
