For students who need them.

October is prime time for flu shots.

Health leaders here in north alabama and beyond are preparing for what experts hope will be a high demand to avoid a 'twindemic" with covid-19.

Joining us via zoom this morning from crestwood medical center is infection prevention nurse, amy stephens.

Amy good morning.

Wait for response what are the advantages of getting the flu shot this year as opposed to any other year?

What to expect when you get a flu shot?

Why do some people get sick after getting the vaccine?

Can you still get the flu even if you've gotten the shot?

If you're going to get a shot from someone other than your doctor, how do you know you can trust the provider?

What do you need to look for?

What about those who have tested positive for coronavirus, is there any harm in getting the flu shot?

Amy stephens, infection prevention nurse with crestwood medical center, thank you for your time this morning.
