While the flu vaccine will not protect you against the coronavirus, having fewer people in need of urgent care or emergency medical services for influenza could dramatically help healthcare workers tend to those in need if there is a significant outbreak of coronavirus in the state. Flu season runs from October through April. It is not too late to get a flu vaccination.
