If the cool mornings are any clue, cold and flu season is upon us — and that means many people are thinking about vaccinations.
Covid and flu vaccinations are currently available at many local pharmacies and medical offices.
“To ensure communities are protected this season, the CDC is recommending that everyone over age six (6) months get an annual flu shot AND an updated COVID-19 vaccine,” pharmacy chain CVS said in a late August press release, announcing the availability of vaccines.
“The ideal time to get vaccinated is in September or October, to restore and enhance protection against the most common viruses currently circulating before peak season starts,” the release continued. “Pharmacies are one of the most common places people choose to get vaccinated.”
According to CVS, 46% of people plan to get a flu shot and 60% of people planning to get the flu vaccine would like to get a Covid vaccine during the same visit.
We were wondering how that compares with vaccine plans in Arlington. Are you planning to (or did you already) get the jab?
