DALLAS (CBS11) - The number of people getting sick with the flu went up significantly in Dallas County in just one week.

It's the biggest jump this season in the number of flu cases according to Dallas County Health and Human Services.

The DCHHS reports flu cases rose from 18 two weeks ago to 29 cases last week.

That's still low overall compared to recent years.

If you haven't gotten a flu shot already, doctors say now's a good time to do it.
