Scarlet Taylor, 5, died from flu in 2014. Now her mom Rebecca Hendricks is urging people to get a flu shot in hopes of preventing more flu deaths. Hendricks started a foundation to raise awareness and funding for flu shots and clinics called The End-FLUenza Project.
Kaiser Permanente Dr. Geoff Ankeney said it’s more important to get a flu shot in 2020 than in any other year, because of COVID-19. Ankeney said the flu shot is effective and can help someone keep up their immune system, potentially making them less susceptible to getting coronavirus. He said it would help someone’s survivability as well.
