Get a flu shot
It’s likely that both influenza (flu) and COVID-19 will be in the community this fall and winter. This means getting a flu shot is more important this year than ever. While flu vaccines will not protect against COVID-19, they are proven to reduce the risk of flu illness, hospitalization and death.
