Will a flu shot protect you from coronavirus?

Health experts are urging people to get their flu shot this year as the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. are once again on the rise.

But could getting a flu shot also protect you from COVID-19? No, according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.

“While it would be nice, there’s no evidence that flu shots can protect you from COVID-19, an entirely different disease,” ADPH said in a Facebook post.

That doesn’t mean you should skip the flu vaccine, however.

“The flu shot can help protect you from having the flu, which results is hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations a year and thousands of deaths. Plus, with the continued spread of COVID-19, experts warn that without proper precautions, we could experience a “twindemic” of both flu and COVID-19,” ADPH added.

The Centers for Disease Control recommends people get vaccinated before flu season starts and begins to spread

On the afternoon of Sept. 22, I became a data point in the search for a vaccine to prevent COVID-19.

Why a vaccine for coronavirus will take longer to develop than you might think

That’s when I received the first of two shots in a clinical trial to develop a vaccine, and became one of 30,000 volunteers to take a needlestick for science.

Why am I doing it? A combination of altruism, curiosity, and a sense of duty as a journalist. But more on that later.

Aside from the nurse who injected me and the hospital pharmacy that supplied her with the injection, no one else knows whether I received a placebo or the would-be vaccine. Not me. Not even Dr. Bindu Balani, the principal investigator in the trial

The Keto Diet Might Be Worth A Shot If You’re Dealing With PCOS Symptoms

From Women’s Health

Having polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can affect a lot of different areas of your life. Among other things, PCOS can impact your weight, and a lot of questions come up about the best way to manage PCOS weight gain via your diet. One frequently searched query? Whether the keto diet is a good eating method to help manage PCOS weight gain and other symptoms.

Before we get into that, it’s important to go over some PCOS basics. PCOS is a health condition caused by an imbalance of reproductive hormones, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health (OWH). This hormone imbalance causes problems in the ovaries, which make an egg that’s released each month as part of your menstrual cycle. When you have PCOS, the egg might not develop the way it should, or it might not be released during ovulation,

S.C. health officials: This year’s flu shot may be ‘most important of your life’ | Coronavirus

| Dept Of Health

Officials at South Carolina’s leading health agency are strongly encouraging flu vaccinations in light of ongoing health crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Health experts from the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control are urging flu shots with the hope that early vaccination can help flatten the state’s curve of influenza infections, fearing that an influx of flu-related hospitalizations could exacerbate issues hospitals are already facing as they deal with the worst public health crisis in a century. 

“This year, this may be the most important flu shot of your life,” said Dr. Brannon Traxler, interim S.C. DHEC public health director, in a news release. “We’re experiencing the worst public health crisis in 100 years, and it’s never been more important for each and every one of us to stay as healthy as possible.

| Dept Of Health

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

HARRISBURG (KDKA) – Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine urged Pennsylvanians to make sure to get their flu vaccine even as the coronavirus pandemic continues.

“Every flu season is different, but this flu season leaves a lot of unknowns,” Dr. Levine said. “One thing we do know is the flu is serious and can be deadly, which is why it is extremely important that Pennsylvanians are receiving their flu vaccine now. In addition to getting your flu vaccine, it is essential to take other preventative measures to protect yourself from the spread of the flu. There is no better measure to protect yourself from flu than to get a flu vaccine.”

This year, both flu shots and nasal sprays are available for everyone 6-months-old and up to protect against the seasonal flu.

Getting a flu shot can diminish the severity and duration of flu

New public health plea: Get a flu shot

October 4, 2020

| Health Center

As the average number of cases of the novel coronavirus confirmed in Jefferson County each day stabilizes, public health experts have diverted some of their focus to addressing potential problems created by the intermingling of influenza and COVID-19 even before they begin.

While it’s relatively easy to predict who is most at risk of severe flu complications, a bad flu year could stress hospital capacity needed to treat the most dire cases of it and coronavirus.

At the same time, people are spending more time inside, which experts across the country worry will again result in an uptick in cases of the coronavirus and, as a result, hospitalized individuals.

So, in an attempt to protect health-care capacity in advance of any potential onslaught, public health experts are urging nearly all residents to take the flu vaccine even more seriously this year.
