Richards notes that there is a possibility of a difficult flu season this winter, which could set up a COVID-19 and flu twindemic. The good news, she says, is that vaccines are now available for both adults and children 12 years of age and up. She recommends that everyone get a flu shot by the end of October, even those who are not yet eligible for the COVID-19 booster shot.
