Local health clinic noticing more COVID-19 related visits than flu
Medical experts warn, don t forget the flu amid the pandemic By Brandy McGill | December 14, 2020 at 7:56 PM CST - Updated December 15 at 8:04 AM
OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (WLOX) -The CDC maximized the influenza vaccine this year. Numbers show this is the highest distribution of doses in a single flu season. One local clinic thinks many people aren’t taking advantage of the opportunity.
Maxem Health Urgent Care has noticed most of its foot traffic is related to COVID-19. Communications Coordinator Shunterese Wells said with fewer flu-related visits, influenza vaccinations have decreased.
“I guess maybe because COVID is primary, that’s the initial concern, that’s the issue we’re trying to address,” Wells said. “Although flu has been steady like I said, COVID has been the primary reason for visits.”
