A word of advice from Prof Barry Schoub | Flu Vaccines

Although influenza vaccination will not protect against coronavirus infection, it is strongly recommended, in particular, because of the coronavirus pandemic. Influenza could well be an important aggravating underlying condition which would exacerbate Covid-19 disease. Furthermore, the diagnosis of Covid-19 would be complicated by influenza because the symptoms are very similar , and this could well compromise the management of Covid-19 illness.
