In a bright studio room, Dr. Mayrene Hernandez appears in a blue chair next to two plants.
DR. HERNANDEZ: If you’ve already gotten the COVID-19 vaccine, it is also recommended and important that you get the flu shot this year. One covers you against the influenza virus, and the other covers you for the COVID-19 viruses. They’re two distinct vaccines.
Every year, the flu vaccine is different.

DR. HERNANDEZ: Once you get the flu shot, it takes two weeks to become effective in your system. So the earlier you get it, the less exposure you have to others who are sick within your community.
