PREVIOUS COVERAGE: COVID, flu cases on the rise in North Texas
Respiratory viral season is in full bloom with COVID, flu and RSV cases keeping medical providers across the Metroplex busy.
Children's Health says it saw a large spike in flu cases last week.
During the week of January 14, Children's Health says it saw more than 407 patients with the flu system-wide.
That's a 40% jump from the previous week.
Despite the increase in flu, RSV and COVID cases dropped throughout the month of January.
Earlier this year, Children's Health told FOX 4 flu vaccination rates were down by about 5 percent.
