All across Central and Northern Michigan there are signs reminding people to wash their hands in order to prevent them from getting the flu
Every year there are many people who are already ill and at a higher risk. To make sure they are getting the care they need, Senator Roger Kahn has introduced a bill that will prioritize those who will receive the flu vaccine.
The plan is for hospitals to educate and encourage higher risk patients to get the vaccine.
"By so doing it is our hope that we'll avoid fatalities and repeat hospitalizations".
The bill is expected to be taken up by the Senate this Thursday.
