Extra Edition: Flu and Covid-19 Shots.
The coming flu season could be severe and organized doctors are encouraging everyone eligible to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and the flu to help prevent the spread of either virus. The CDC recently updated its guidance to clarify that it is safe to get the flu shot at the same time as the COVID-19 vaccine. An expert explains the public health protocols and dispel misinformation on the vaccines. This and other news topics are discussed in this edition.

Many in the community have stepped in to help.
