While the flu shot will not protect you from COVID-19, seasonal flu is also a respiratory virus that is circulating throughout our community along with COVID-19. It’s important to reduce your risk of a possible co-infection with both viruses, which may increase the severity of the other illness should you get sick with both at the same time. There is also the possibility that being sick with one will weaken your immune system, and increase your chances of getting the other illness.
The best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot. Everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu shot every year. Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at high risk of serious complications.
