Today we have a follow-up conversations with Dr. Joseph Chow, Medical Director of WNY Immediate Care and President of TeamHealth Ambulatory Care. We talked to Dr. Chow about COVID-19 myths, symptoms and best practices back in January, and we all know that so much has changed since then with the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccines, lifted restrictions and new variants. During today’s conversation we will learn some updates around the illness, the vaccines and how to protect ourselves during the upcoming flu season.
It’s still extremely important to receive your COVID-19 vaccine if you have not yet, and for those who are immunocompromised or have underlying health conditions, it is possible to start looking into receiving a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot. As Dr. Chow mentions, it is okay and recommended to receive your flu vaccination whether you have the COVID-19 vaccine, do not have it or will be getting both shots at the same time.
