New Canaan has seen an unusually strong and early flu season, health officials say. The town “definitely had a nice peak before Christmas, unfortunately, which is not typically where we peak,” according to Health Director Amy Lehaney. “We typically peak two weeks after the Near Year-ish,” Lehaney told members of the Health & Human Services Commission during their regular meeting, held Tuesday at Town Hall and via videoconference. “So I’m curious to see if we end up having a second peak or if we kind of just peaked early this year. But the flu numbers are way up.
