Flu (influenza) is a contagious respiratory illness. Many flu symptoms are similar to Coronavirus (COVID-19), but they are caused by different viruses. You can protect yourself from both by getting a flu shot and your COVID-19 vaccine.
The vaccine helps reduce the number of flu-related visits to the doctor by 40%–60%.
If you still get the flu after being vaccinated, your flu shot may make your symptoms milder.
