“This time of year, we typically see other respiratory viruses circulating like influenza. Last week’s influenza surveillance report noted an increase in flu activity that could mark the beginning of the influenza season,” said Walensky. “We have been anticipating the return of flu viruses this season. If you’re wondering if you should get a flu vaccine, you should. It’ll protect you and your family against the flu. What’s the best gift to give this year? Consider the gift of health. It’s priceless as we head into the holiday and winter season now is the time to think about protection for ourselves and our families. So many of us miss being with our friends and family last year, for those who are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and who are eligible for a COVID-19 booster dose, go out now and get your extra booster dose to protect you. And for those who are not yet vaccinated and including our children, teens, and adolescents who are now all eligible for vaccination, get vaccinated, this getting vaccinated this week, we’ll set you up to being fully protected in time for the holidays and by the end of the year.”
