Get your flu shot in 'sweet spot' season before mid-November: Dr. Anne Rimoin
Fox News interviewed Dr. Anne Rimoin, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health professor of epidemiology and the Gordon-Levin Endowed Chair in Infectious Diseases and Public Health, about this year’s cold and flu season and COVID-19.
“It’s getting colder, people are going inside, we’re going to see cases of respiratory pathogens increase,” Rimoin said. “You also need to think about making sure you’re boosted for influenza, get your COVID booster, and if you’re going into really crowded places, (you) might consider wearing a mask.”
