A member asked:
How many of those that have contracted coronavirus actually got the flu vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No study yet seen: I have not seen a study that related COVID-19 infection and if these patients had taken a flu shot. Because the COVID-19 infection rate and death rate is higher in patients with multiple medical conditions these high risk patients usually get flu shots. High risk patients are patients that have COPD, HTN, Diabetes, elderly, healthcare workers and nursing home personnel.
