Queensland's chief health officer, Dr. John Gerrard, raises concerns over a surge in flu cases among children.

In NSW, over 14,000 children aged 10-19 have tested positive for influenza this year.

Up to 50 children per day are expected to be hospitalized in Queensland as schools reopen.

A 30% rise in flu cases is reported, increasing pressure on emergency departments.

Health authorities emphasize the importance of vaccination, with less than a quarter of children vaccinated in Queensland.

Experts warn of potentially deadly consequences for vulnerable individuals if not vaccinated against the flu.

COVID-19 and RSV cases are also on the rise, prompting residents to stay vigilant.

NSW Health Minister Ryan Park stresses the importance of getting vaccinated to prevent the spread of flu and other infectious diseases.
