CareNow® Urges the Public to Get a Flu Vaccine
Denver, CO, September 12, 2020 --(PR.com)-- As flu season quickly approaches amid the continuing COVID-19 pandemic Denver, CO residents may have concerns about what this flu season will bring this year. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, October is the recommended time to be vaccinated against influenza and experts at CareNow are urging the public to protect themselves by getting a flu vaccine early.
“The best way to avoid getting the flu is to get the vaccine every year,” says Dr. Mark Montano, market medical director at CareNow. “The sooner you can receive a flu shot, the better. It’s the best prevention method.”
The contagious respiratory illness is characterized by symptoms such as fever, cough, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, and fatigue. It’s important for those with other medical conditions to plan to get a flu shot as soon as possible, especially with the possibility of contracting COVID-19 and the flu at the same time.
“COVID-19 and the flu season are going to overlap this winter,” says market medical director, Dr. Mark Montano. “It’s really important to get ahead of this before the flu season starts. Having both illnesses together could mean you have more severe symptoms.” In addition to the flu vaccine, CareNow® experts also recommend taking the following hygiene measures you’ve been taking to avoid
