Doctors in the Hudson Valley and across New York are tracking a rise in flu cases.

Data from the New York State Department of Health shows a spike in cases at the end of October.

"We probably saw a flu case once a month over the summer and now, it's really kicking in. It's important to go out and get your shot," said Dr. Donald Roland, who is with Urgent Care of New York in Thornwood.

Doctors also urge everyone to wash their hands and stay home if they are feeling sick.
