Dr. William Schaffner: ‘This Season We Might Well Have a Twindemic’

EXCERPT:

SCHAFFNER: "Well, you can certainly get both at the same time, and will be starting to give flu vaccine the end of this month and intensively during October. John, I think we’re going to have to reintroduce flu to the country. Let people know that this is yet another nasty respiratory virus, and you have to get vaccinated against both. There’s no cross protection. And we’re worried that this season we might well have a twindemic. Kids back in school, we’re back at work, we’re going out to recreational facilities, we are not wearing our masks, and we could have flu on top of Covid. Not an attractive prospect."
