Flu season typically stretches from fall to spring, Andreasen says.
“It’s really important to get that protection early, especially this year due to COVID-19,” she said. “We want to avoid complications that could come from becoming infected with both viruses, and to keep our hospitalizations down as we are facing a novel, highly contagious virus that causes COVID-19.”
