Flu Shots Are More Important Than Ever! - Infection Preventionist Gail Gates

In this episode we are joined by infection preventionist Gail Gates. This year's flu season will be like nothing we have ever seen.  It is more important than ever to get your flu shot!  Please do your part so health care systems across the country aren't fighting a battle on two fronts - influenza AND COVID-19.

What's the difference between influenza and "the flu"?  Can you have influenza and COVID at the same time? Can you get your flu shot if you are COVID positive?  Which arm is best to receive an influenza vaccination?
