According to the CDC, flu vaccines are the best way to prevent contracting the virus. Flu vaccines are safe and effective and so common they are given out each year at doctor’s offices, healthcare clinics, pharmacies, and some businesses have flu shots administered at their offices. Most adults only need one flu shot per year, but children that are ages 6 months to 8 years could need several doses if it is their first-ever flu shot. +

It is important to note that the flu shot will NOT protect you from COVID-19, but getting a flu shot is crucial because the symptoms of COVID-19 and the flu are very similar. A flu shot could reduce symptoms that might be confused with those caused by COVID-19. A flu shot could reduce the symptoms of the flu, so if those same symptoms start to manifest, it might be time for a COVID-19 test. +

The majority of flu cases are reported during that time, and getting a flu shot before flu season is recommended.

With COVID-19 wreaking havoc on the world population, getting a flu shot could help relieve the stress of an already depleted and burdened healthcare system by helping your doctor determine the source of your illness.
