A member asked:
How accurate are the current flu shots? when will the new updated covid shot be available?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Current influenza vaccine is around 60% effective in preventing infection, but has additional benefit in reducing severity if you get flu despite immunization. The updated covid vaccine was approved in the US by FDA and CDC this week and is now being distributed; news reports are that most pharmacies should have it in stock in the next week or two.
