The 2022 Flu season in the Portland Area is nearly here, and experts are warning it could be a particularly bad one. The flu seasons varies by region, but it typically starts in October and usually dies down by mid-March. Peak flu activity is generally December through February. But during the COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of flu has been much more variable.
Get a flu vaccine, appointments are available 7 days a week or you can walk-in to our clinic. The vaccine also protects other people around you by possibly preventing you from getting it and spreading it — so you might even end up saving someone’s life. Also, like with COVID-19 wearing masks and social distancing helps against getting and transmitting the flu. Also, be sure to eat well, stay active, and get a good night’s sleep.
It is recommended to wait until mid-October or sometimes even early November to get your flu shot. That way you will get a little more protection over the holidays.
If you think you might have the flu, consider getting a flu test at Portland Urgent Care because if you get diagnosed with the flu early enough, you might be eligible to get antivirals that can reduce the length and severity of the illness. As with all colds and viruses it’s important to stay home and rest so that you can get better and minimize the chance of infecting others.
Yes, Testing can also reveal if someone has both flu and COVID-19 at the same time, although this is uncommon. People with flu and COVID-19 at the same time can have more severe disease than people with either flu or COVID-19 alone. Each test is available at our clinic.
