It is important to get a flu vaccination, especially this flu season, as the world is still experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Though the flu and COVID-19 are caused by different viruses, they have similar means of infection.  The CDC recommends hand-washing, social distancing and the use of face masks to prevent the spread of both flu and COVID-19. Visit www.aha.org/wearamask for additional resources.
