But do get vaccinated
Like SARS-CoV-2, the flu spreads through droplets in the air when people cough, sneeze or talk to each other. Less frequently, it spreads via contaminated surfaces. For example, if someone with the flu touched a grocery store shelf, and then you did—and proceeded to rub your eyes or put your hand in your mouth—you could become infected.
, for example, 47.5% of pregnant people had gotten their shot, which is nearly 15 percentage points lower than the same time last year.Yes. “It’s not like you get the vaccine and you’re bulletproof protected,” Virk says. However, the best way to prevent hospitalization and severe illness is to get vaccinated against both viruses. “You may still get a mild infection—but hopefully it’ll only be a mild infection.”that this year’s flu shot doesn’t match the circulating strain particularly well.
Patients hospitalized with a dual infection will be treated based on their risk of severe illness, Virk says. That might include Tamiflu, an antiviral that can lessen the amount of time one is sick with the flu and cut the risk of serious complications and death, and COVID-19-specific treatments such as oxygen, monoclonal antibodies and IL6 receptor blockers. The exact treatment program will depend on each patient’s circumstances and personal risk factors.
