The latest South Carolina Flu Watch report issued weekly by the State Department of Health and Environmental control shows a significant slow down of flu cases in the state.

402 positive rapid antigen tests have been identified during the 2010 flu season, so far. At this point in 2009, close to 18,400 cases were detected.

The flu season usually reaches a peak in October and November. But according to the latest numbers, 2010 has been tame.

Flu shots are still available. This year's vaccine contains both the H1N1 strain and the seasonal flu strain.
