JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Post spring break blues aren't the only thing kids are fighting this week. Many of them are coming back from vacation with outdoor injuries, poison ivy, and even the flu.
CareSpots in Duval County say students who caught the flu this week all had one thing in common-- they spent their vacation at Disney. According to nurses, there was an outbreak of influenza that affected several kids coming back from Orlando. Some vacationers also came back with a stomach bug.
