It’s that time of year again, and it’s more important than ever to protect yourself against the seasonal flu. Here’s what you need to know about the 2021/22 flu season. 

• It’s important to get your flu shot as soon as possible. Contracting the seasonal flu will strain your immune system, which may put you at a higher risk of catching COVID-19. Keep your body strong by getting your flu vaccine. 
• The 2021/22 flu vaccine protects against four flu viruses that research indicates will be the most common. 
• You can get your flu vaccine and COVID booster vaccine close together per the CDC. 
• The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone age six months and older, with a few exceptions. 

Flu vaccines are available at our urgent care daily. You may also request a flu vaccine during a visit with your primary care provider or at our COVID testing clinics.
