Doctors Urging People To Get The Flu Vaccine This Year

It is said every year, to get your flu shot, but doctors said it is more important than ever with COVID-19 still here this year.

Health professionals said that they have concerns because they aren’t for sure how people’s bodies would react if they were to get influenza and COVID-19 at the same time.

"We really don't know,” said Dr. Jim Kirk. “We know influenza can be a very serious illness. It claims thousands of people in the U.S. in any given year.”

Doctors said getting the two of them together is a mixture they think would not be good.

According to the state health department’s website, there have been three reported cases.

The CDC suggests everyone over the age of 6 months get the flu vaccine before the end of October.
