Vaccinate for seasonal influenza

By Stefano Lazzari

Several authors (Richmond 2020, Jaklevic 2020, Singer 2020, Rubin 2020, Maltezoua 2020) and public health agencies are recommending expanding seasonal flu vaccination in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This follows concerns about the potential “double epidemic” of COVID-19 and seasonal flu during the winter months (Balakrishnan 2020, Gostin 2020).

Recovering

After more than six months of studying the scientific COVID-19 literature you might wish to take a break. What if you did something completely different? For example, learning a few Italian words. The Covid Reference team has prepared for you a fine free package of audio files and PDFs. (Even a cellphone app!)
