In any other year than 2020 and 2021, this time of year we would be talking about flu vaccinations.

One positive outcome from the COVID-19 pandemic is that flu cases were way down due to people staying home, social distancing and wearing a mask when around other people.

All of the above help decrease your susceptibility to becoming ill from either COVID-19 or the flu. The other primary step you can take for both diseases is to get vaccinated. While much of the talk remains today about the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccinations and booster vaccinations, don’t forget to also get your flu shot.

I got mine on Monday!
