So far this fall, most of the influenza outbreaks in Florida have been in childcare facilities, according to state health data.
"We are sending out gentle reminders to parents," said Karla Creque, associate vice president of operations for YMCA of South Florida. "If your child is sick, keep them home. And they must wait 24 hours after symptoms are gone to return."
"We are seeing more children with pneumonia influenza than in a typical year," said Dr. Michael Weiss, a pediatric emergency medicine specialist with Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital.
