State health officials are encouraging residents to get their flu shot this year.
Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine says the flu shot is available now and there are plenty of doses for state residents.
“This year we have requested, and expect to receive, more than 860,000 doses of the flu vaccine to make available to people in Pennsylvania,” Levine said.
Levine also says symptoms of the flu are very similar to COVID-19.
“Typical flu symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, nasal congestion, headaches, fatigue, vomiting, and diarrhea are really the same symptoms that can occur with COVID-19,” Levine said.
The state urges you to see your healthcare provider or find locations where flu vaccinations are available.
