As the U.S. gears up for a bad flu season, on top of the ongoing pandemic, CDC director Dr. Walensky says getting your flu shot is “doubly important this year.”

Dr. Lilian Abbo, center, receives a flu vaccine from Nicholas Torres, left, and a Pfizer COVID-19 booster shot from Douglas Houghton, right, at Jackson Memorial Hospital on Oct. 5, 2021, in Miami.The U.S. is gearing up in case of a bad flu season on top of the continuing Covid-19 crisis, with a plea Thursday for Americans to get vaccinated against both.

“I get it: We are all tired of talking about vaccines,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.But “it is doubly important this year” to get your flu shot, added Walensky, who got her own vaccination earlier this week just as she has every year since she was a medical student in 1995. “We are preparing for the return of the flu.

Police and health care workers that refuse Covid vaccinations are not obeying their oath of office not to cause harm to others in doing their duties. Those that do not should find work elsewhere.

Is it Bollocks you can’t be listening to these criminals

R u saying now that COVID19 is equal to the flu ? Please explain WHCOVIDResponse JoeBiden POTUS JohnBerman WhiteHouse CDCgov NIH US_FDA WHO is this message global explain the similarities to the 🌎

I'm confused. I've gotten the flu shot every year for 20 years. But I thought vaccines no longer worked unless everyone was vaccinated? Isn't that the CDC's new position?

After two years how can there be anything left to get us?

Cranking up that fear mongering machine!

Done and booster done!!!

Oh boy. More fear mongering.

But the flu disappeared last year? Don’t they remember? At least that’s what their data shows. Maybe their trying to mix the flu shot with the vaccine…shady lies falsedata

Why doesn't the CDC prescribe a healthy lifestyle and try to combat obesity first? Give you a hint: there is no money in healthy people!

Oh female in the picture likes the double shot

Yes because last year we all stayed at home. Now we're all out and about, reopening, traveling, and moving pathogens around. Although, the flu is not as deadly as Covid you just don't want to be mis-quarantined. That's why they want Covid test to distinguish flu and covid

Health can’t be injected.

Doesn't matter as many can't afford food or heating oil. So starve or freeze to death long before covid or the flu take you.

They might very well “accidentally” give other jab…

So what strain is the flu vaccine based on this year? The Southern Hemisphere had no flu to base it on . So which one is it influenza a bc what is it?

So she is getting a flu shot and a COVID shot at the same time. That is creepy as faq!

Wait, the flu still exist? No shit!

Just stop

mean while at the Covid Infested Unvaccinated Border , Return them all to sender

They should mandate it!

Again, NO!

I've never gotten the flu shot and I've never gotten the flu. I did get the COVID vaccine although I was an essential worker and was around people from the start of it and never got COVID. I know people who never left their home and got sick somehow. There is a lot unknown.

Why do you , the msm, feel we trust anything that your put out? Shameful and disgusting is all the msm has been

Give it a rest already.

Never had one before...

🖕

But the flu doesn't exist anymore remember.

It’s much easier to just stop eating meat. It will cut down on healthcare expenses, and people will be healthier and happier with more money in their pockets to buy vegan benandjerrys and vegan doughnuts. plantbased health healing
