However, the flu vaccine can help reduce your risk of flu illness, hospitalization, and death.<\/li><li>If fewer people get the flu, care teams can focus their time and resources on providing COVID-19 patients with the care they need. During 2018-19 flu vaccination prevented an estimated 58,000 flu-related hospitalizations.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Should a flu vaccine be given to someone with suspected of confirmed COVID-19?<ul><li>No. If you tested positive for COVID-19, or believe you might have it, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s best to wait before getting a flu shot. This will help prevent the spread of COVID-19 to anyone in the flu shot location, including other patients and healthcare teams.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Be well! Questions?
