picture of flu virus from cdc
you know what would be bad this year is to get the covid 19 and also the flu
so far there is no vaccine for covid 19
yet
there may be in early 2021 or if we are lucky late late 2020
but if it does become available it may be awhile before most of us can get it
its not the case though with the flu shot
it is usually readily available for everyone to access
this would be the year to be sure and get your flu shot
if you were to get both of those infections together most of us will not do well
so
dont take a chance
get your flu shot this year
i know i know its early but september will be here before you know it
now
i usually wait until early october to get my flu shot
early enough to prevent an early case of the flu but late enough so the flu shot will last into the spring
i was looking at some covid 19 graphs the other day listing all the countries who have covid 19
of course the us was number one
no distinction to be proud of i might add
but
down at the bottom was a graph of the flu outbreaks in the southern hemisphere thats happening now
remember
its their winter there
they get the flu first then it heads our way
the graph was as flat as a fritter
why
guess
why
people are wearing a mask
people are social distancing
people are washing their hands or using disinfectants a lot
these are the same thing that also slows down transmission of the flu
so
its working down in the south world
it should work here also
add
a flu shot to that mix and you should be well protected from getting the flu
anyone coming around mr hudson has to have a flu shot and all their other immunizations updated
doing all these things protect people like mr hudson but also all the vulnerable folks like grandparents new babies pregnant folks immunosuppressed folks diabetics etc
so
keep doing those covid 19 things we all should be doing
get your flu shot this fall
protect your loved ones
protect yourself
then
get that covid 19 immunization when it becomes available
its not too early to be thinking about all this
the flu shots should be here in september
get yours
ill get mine
we all will be protected
