Officials urge flu and COVID shots before end of October
Original: Get flu and COVID shots before the end of October, public health officials say
Public health officials are telling people to get their flu and COVID-19 vaccines before the end of October, so protection builds up before respiratory virus season peaks in the winter months. The advice applies broadly as both viruses circulate at the same time each year, and officials stress vaccination remains the best way to reduce severe illness and hospital stays.
Why now: Flu and COVID vaccination season is underway and officials want people vaccinated ahead of the winter surge.
