Will 2 flu shots this year boost immunity? When is the best time to get it? Heres what health experts say – CNBC

Covid-19 has been the biggest health concern of 2020, but another virus — the flu — isn't going anywhere. Though you can get the flu during any time of year, flu season in the U.S. happens during the fall and winter months — usually reaching its peak between December and March. Getting a flu shot this year may help cut down on the potential effects of a "twindemic," which could happen if a Covid-19 surge and a severe flu season overlap.
