This year, it is more important than ever to get your annual flu vaccine. Roll up your sleeve and get your flu shot to protect yourself and your community. Spread the word to your friends and family because the more people that get vaccinated, the more people are protected. Ramping up vaccinations can also lessen the burden of the flu on healthcare systems. That means that resources and time can be dedicated to caring for people with COVID-19.
