The flu clinics will also have the opportunity to receive a booster of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. If you previously received a two-dose series of Pfizer at least six months ago, you should also consider the guidelines (click here for guidelines) for a booster.

Why is the flu shot important? When the majority of the population receives the flu shot, it creates a buffer between the virus and the most vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. Getting the flu shot my not stop you from contracting the virus, but you may not experience the more severe symptoms that require hospitalization or cause death.
