This year, medical professionals are highly recommending more so than usual that we get a flu shot, and soon.

"We can’t stress enough, the importance to get your flu shot, continue to wear a mask in public, practice physical distancing, and stay home when you are not feeling well," Mike Murnik, MD, Senior Physician Executive at Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital tells us.
