Flu season lasts about 6 months each year, starting in the Fall and staying active through the Spring. While the shorthand 'flu' is commonly used, there are actually three common viruses circulating that create most of the viral respiratory illness that make us sick: Influenza, COVID-19 and RSV and all three have a vaccine that can minimize the impact of the illness. EHHD has vaccination clinics in the community; find the schedule at EHHD.org/VAX
