Should you get the flu shot? What to know about the 2020-21 flu season

With the first day of fall just around the corner, medical professionals are issuing a serious warning as this year’s flu season arrives amid the coronavirus pandemic: Get your flu shot.

“The flu shot is incredibly important because it reduces your risk of contracting the flu,” Michelle Lin, an emergency room doctor, and professor of emergency medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, told Fox News. “It also reduces your risk for complications and passing it to other people, especially pregnant women, young children and the elderly,” who are more susceptible to the virus, she added.

This year, flu season will coincide with the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in the U.S. and abroad, meaning it's doubly as important to get vaccinated.

"It's particularly important to get vaccinated this year because of the ongoing COVID pandemic: We want people to stay as healthy as possible," said Lin. "Since people are trying to stay home and out of the doctor's office [and/or] ER, there has been a push to make the vaccine available widely earlier."

  8. My husband is the only person I know that never gets sick with nothing. He had the flu shot one fall and that is the sickest I have ever seen him and it went into pneumonia. Never had one after that, no problems now. I will never take the flu shot. I do however take pneumonia shot, no problems.
