Should you get a flu vaccine this year with Covid around? Will having one hurt or harm your run-in with covid if you happen to contract that disease?
We go through the data and sort it all out for you, which is good because the data is kind of messy right now and conflicting studies are all over the place.
The bottom line is "yes" on balance having a flu shot is a sensible thing, especially for high risk people and those in high contact with the public.
Other people may want to weigh their own lifestyles against the risk, especially given that the flu was absolutely crushed in the Southern Hemisphere due to Covid restrictions and behavior changes.
Also, remember to tune up your 'terrain' and be prepared to limit any flu you might contract by having plenty of elderberry syrup, vitamin D3, etc., in your supplement kit.
