While in the midst of the COVID pandemic, flu season is fast approaching and getting the flu shot may be more critical this year than it has in the past.
Flu season starts in late September and goes all the way to March, and even though a flu shot might not prevent you from getting the flu virus, doctors still urge people to get one.
