More Nova Scotians are dying from the Flu than COVID; here’s what the data shows

In Nova Scotia, influenza has surpassed COVID-19 as the leading cause of respiratory-related deaths this season, marking a shift since the pandemic's onset. Health officials attribute this to strong COVID-19 vaccine uptake and natural immunity, while flu cases surge, leading to increased hospital admissions. Public health efforts now focus on promoting flu vaccinations and hygiene practices to mitigate the spread.
