YES. And this year it may be particularly important to get both.\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\nThe CDC reported the 2020-2021 flu season to be light but anticipates that this upcoming flu season won\u2019t be as light as it was in the past. In preparation for a potentially rough flu season, it is important to protect yourself and others not just with the flu vaccine but also by continuing to practice proper hand hygiene, staying home when sick, and wearing a mask in areas where you might be a close distance from others.\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\nU.S. health officials are also bracing for another potential COVID surge as fall approaches and more people will be moving inside due to colder weather. The Whitehouse is recommending boosters by the end of October, around the same time you would receive a flu vaccine, to protect against the potential surge.\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\nWhether or not individuals decide to get both the flu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time or spread them out is completely a personal choice. According to the CDC, it is safe to receive both the flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine\/booster at the same time but recommends getting them in different arms. It&#8217;s also slightly more likely you will experience side effects when receiving both at the same time.\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\nFor more detailed information, please visit:\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/when-is-flu-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mayo Clinic &#8211; How to Prepare for Flu Season<\/a>\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/health\/2022\/09\/03\/fall-covid-surge-booster-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post &#8211; Covid Forecast<\/a>\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CDC &#8211; COVID-19<\/a>\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.advisory.com\/daily-briefing\/2022\/09\/13\/covid-flu-shot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Advisory Board &#8211; Covid-19 Booster and Flu Shot<\/a>\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\n<strong>If you or an aging loved one is considering <a href=\"\/senior-care-services\/the-caregiving-process\"><em>Home Care Services in Roswell GA<\/em><\/a>\u202fplease contact the caring staff at CaraVita Home Care today. <em>(770) 643-1712<\/em><\/strong>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home Care Roswell GA-Flu season in the United States can run from October through May but we may not see its peak until January or February which is why it is recommended to receive your flu vaccine by the end of October.","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2329,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,64],"tags":[76,110,77],"class_list":["post-2327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-caravita-home-care-news","category-coronavirus-covid-19","tag-caravita-home-care-news","tag-coronavirus-covid-19","tag-home-care-roswell-ga"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
