“It is likely that flu viruses and the virus that causes COVID-19 will both spread this fall and winter, so we strongly recommend getting a flu vaccine,” said Meredith Cooper, Clinics Administrator at GVMH. “While getting a flu vaccine will not protect against COVID-19, there are many important benefits. Flu vaccines have been shown to reduce the risk of flu illness, hospitalization and death. Our team is ready to assist with COVID-19, the flu or any other healthcare concerns.”
To schedule an appointment for a flu shot at any GVMH location, contact your primary care provider or call 660.890.7300.
