Now that the flu season is officially underway, the Virginia Department of Health encourages all people in Virginia six months and older to receive their annual influenza vaccine.
Officials say although flu activity remains low nationally, Virginia has started to see sporadic reports of the influenza virus detected in recent weeks. Visit vaccines.gov/find-vaccines to find a location where you can get the flu vaccine. It is safe to get both the flu and COVID-19 vaccine at the same time.
