Q: Will getting a flu shot protect me from Covid-19?
A: The short answer is no; it will not prevent coronavirus. But the question is more complex. By getting a flu shot and helping to prevent yourself from catching the flu, you help lessen the load of an already overburdened healthcare system. Additionally, those who get a flu shot are helping to eliminate symptoms that might be suspected as COVID-19 and confusing folks into thinking they need to be off work, to have to stay away from their loved ones for extended periods of time, etc. Getting your annual flu shot can keep yourself and everyone around you healthier.
