#  Consumed by Covid, but don't forget about Influenza

 Written by Zoe Rutherford on 12 January 2021.

While our primary public health concern at this moment is COVID, and rightly so, we need ensure that the common flu is not forgotten this year.

Many of the most vulnerable are staying home to avoid exposure to COVID, raising concern that flu vaccination rates will be much lower this year.

While COVID vaccines are still being approved, and rolled out, we do have a means of preventing tens of thousands of deaths from influenza.

Below we have included links to two pages that cover the all of the essentials on the Flu shot during the pandemic, as well as some seasonal health information that helps holistically.

The team at CBRNe World have had theirs, join us and stay influenza free this year.
