Experts Push for Flu Shots to Avoid “Twindemic”

Now that autumn is officially upon us, it’s time to really consider what may be coming next:  Experts call it “twindemic.”

It’s a scary reminder that this fall and winter could be worse with coronavirus – because of the advent of flu season.  No one wants COVID-19 and the flu, both running rampant.

Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Robert Redfield, as well as infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, strongly urge each of us to get a flu shot.  Fauci says flu shots “at least blunt the effect of one of those two potential respiratory infections.”

It’s a good way to work smarter not harder on your good health, for this fall.
