Update on COVID-19 vaccine development and why you need to get that flu shot
The flu and COVID-19 are both spread via respiratory droplets. While the science behind hand washing, mask wearing, and social distancing is very effective at preventing both flu and COVID-19, these precautions must be consistent. It only takes one time of forgetting a mask or not washing hands to become exposed to a virus. At this point, we haven’t stopped cases of COVID-19. Therefore we should still expect to see cases of the flu (beginning this October).
