I don't get the flu vaccine every year (no judging, please), but I will this year because it’s just been that kind of year when we should mitigate risk as much as possible. Since the symptoms for the flu and covid tend to overlap, it seems best to be able to rule one out. And having the flu and covid at the same time just sounds beyond awful.

I'm just flagging this in case you (like everyone) have lost track of time because 2020 is a freakin' time vortex. It’s currently mid-August and my doctor recommended getting the flu shot in the next 3 weeks-ish. High demand for the flu vaccine is predicted this year. Be well!
