Why the flu vaccine is especially important this year

Winter is coming. So is what experts are calling "twindemic" season...

Not only is COVID still going strong - with the US fastly closing in on 7 million cases and 200,000 deaths - but flu season will be upon us soon as well.

As your FB doctor friend, please get your flu vaccine and remind your loved ones to get it as well! Not only can it decrease your risk of getting the flu by up to 60%, it can drastically reduce the severity of your disease course even if you do get it. It could very well save you from a hospitalization, which will be key with COVID numbers expected to rise as well this winter.

#liveVICTORIOUS but please stay safe and healthy!

(and yes, if it takes a dance to help you remember to get your vaccine, so be it!)
