February 26, 2021 Sheldon, Iowa — If it seems like this year’s influenza season has been mild, you’re not just imagining it — at least according to a provider at Sanford Sheldon. Emergency Room provider Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner Nicholas Vust tells us he has seen minimal influenza A or B or even RSV cases in the Emergency Room this year, and the normal influenza season is drawing to a close at this time. As you might imagine, Vust says the probable reason for that is that the measures that we take to prevent the spread of COVID-19 also are the same measures that prevent influenza.
