Ogden Clinic

Influenza has picked up over the last week across the state, but health officials say it's still not too late to get vaccinated.

According to Weber-Morgan Health Department, the state saw an increase in the number of influenza type A cases beginning the first week of March. In Weber County, 69 percent of those cases have been H1N1, which is covered by this year's vaccine.

"We're not seeing huge numbers, but last month the activity was considered minimal, and this past week we've hit the low to moderate level," said Claudia Price, Weber-Morgan Health Department director of nursing.

OGDEN -- Ogden Clinic will serve the community this holiday season with special urgent-care hours during Christmas and New Year's weekends.

The distractions of the holiday season often result in unexpected injuries and illnesses that often occur as families gather and celebrate. In anticipation of medical needs during the holiday season, several of Ogden Clinic's facilities will be open to care for the local community and out-of-town guests.
