With the flu season beginning and the unfortunate prospect that the flu and COVID-19 viruses will circulate at the same time, getting a flu vaccine can help protect many people from the flu. A flu vaccine this season can also help reduce the burden on our healthcare systems responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and save medical resources for care of COVID-19 patients.
