AURORA | Along with continued efforts to offer the COVID-19 vaccine, clinics across the state this weekend will also offer flu shots.
Flu cases have dropped to historically low levels during the pandemic. The U.S. and Europe experienced hardly any flu last winter, and the Southern Hemisphere just ended its second flu season of the coronavirus pandemic with little to report.
But with U.S. schools and businesses reopened, international travel resuming and far less masking this fall, flu could make a comeback. The big question is whether it will trickle in or roar back and put extra pressure on hospitals already struggling with COVID-19 surges.
The Colorado state health department is recommending all eligible Coloradans receive both the flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccines are free, and no identification, proof of residency, or insurance is required.
