Is it a good idea for people to get the flu shot during the covid-19 outbreak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seasonal Flu: It is strongly encouraged to get your annual seasonal influenza shot. This fall we might be contending with seasonal flu & COVID 19 at the same time. This doesn't mean that the FLU shot will protect you from COVID-19 specifically.
