Episode 53 - Flu Shots Are Here!

Fall means many things...the temperature starts cooling off, football comes back on TV, and the yearly flu shots start hitting the pharmacies around the country.  This flu season has the potential to be a very interesting one as COVID wanes and life gets back to normal for many people.  However, COVID still lurks and many of the measures taken to guard against COVID have fallen by the wayside, potentially leading to an increase in flu cases over the last couple of years.

 

On this episode of The 9 Line, we talk to Dr. Jason Dazley, our Chief of Infectious Disease and Leslie Murphy, one of our Outpatient Clinical Nurse Leaders about this year's flu vaccine, why it's so important to get it this year as compared to years past, and where Veterans can get their flu shots should they so choose.
