Even though Spring is fast approaching and the flu season is coming to end, it is never too late to visit a flu shot center to receive your yearly vaccine.
According to the Chicago Data Portal, here are 300 flu shot centers across the Chicagoland area.
According to the CDC, getting vaccinated yourself can protect others. Including those most vulnerable to serious flu illness like babies, young children, older people, and people with certain chronic health conditions.
Many have asked whether receiving a flu shot will help prevent them from getting the Coronavirus and the answer is no.
However, according to Live Science, even though the flu vaccine won’t prevent you from getting the coronavirus, it can still help officials better respond to the outbreak itself.

“I do think immunizing people against influenza has a very important indirect effect,” he said.
