It’s Not Too Late to Get Your Flu Shot

It’s not too late to get a date for Valentine’s Day šŸ˜‰ and it is not too late to get your flu shot! Reports are showing that February 2020 is going to be the worst month for the flu.

This flu season is shaping up to be one of the worst in decades, according to the United States’ top infectious disease doctor. Even though the flu season is well underway, the worst could still be ahead, so the CDC advises everyone older than 6 months to get a flu shot. – Elizabeth Cohen and John Bonifield, CNN.

The Hospitalist also states that the peak month of flu activity occurs most often in February.
