Radio interview on 2UE Lifestyle Overnight program
I was interviewed on the 2UE Lifestyle Overnight with David Prior program on the current influenza season.
Michael is from the GP Unit at Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research.

A record 18,357 confirmed flu cases were reported between January and July, more than double the number of cases in the same period in 2016.
