GET YOUR FLU SHOT TODAY!!!

 

This year it is especially important to get your flu shot! Health officials warn of a “twindemic”. Co-occurring spikes between the flu and covid-19, will put a huge burden on our countries health care system. The overlapping surge of both the flu and covid-19 could be very dangerous. It would mean additional trips to the hospital and doctors office, as well as the increase in covid-19 testing would put a strain on our healthcare system. We need to prevent as much influenza as possible to avoid this burden.

The flu vaccine is generally 40-60% effective. The truth is that by getting a flu vaccine the symptoms would be milder, and lowers the complications associated with the virus.

Let us do our part in the fight to stay healthy and ease the burden of our countries healthcare system and its professionals!
