MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A state health official says don't become complacent about your chances of contracting the swine flu.
The H1N1 influenza isn't top of mind as it once was months ago. But, the flu season is far from over.
State epidemiologist Tom Haupt tells a Madison television station that it's not too late to get vaccinated for the swine flu and the regular flu.
The state Department of Health Services continues to watch for a possible third wave of swine flu. The second wave ended last month with H1N1 cases and hospitalizations spread throughout the state.
Health officials say cases and hospitalizations peaked in late October and early November.
