Patients are being urged to get vaccinated against swine flu when they are offered it as cases continue to sweep across Sussex.
Fifteen people with the virus are currently being treated in the county's hospitals and more than 1,000 antiviral treatments are prescribed each week.
The National Pandemic Flu Service distributed 8,561 doses of Tamiflu to people in Sussex throughout October.
Health bosses say there has been a slight drop in numbers in the last couple of weeks but warn people still need to be vigilant.
