Last year the number of flu infections decreased significantly due to precautions we took against COVID-19. Many schools were closed, mask mandates were in place and social distancing was practiced in most settings.

VCU Health infectious disease expert Dr. Michael Stevens is with us to share what you can do to stay safe during the flu season.
