CCSA

Right now, there is currently not a vaccine available to prevent COVID-19 or shorten its duration if you become sick. However, with influenza season right around the corner there are vaccines available that can help prevent transmission and shorten the severity of illness.

Signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza may include fever or feeling feverish, chills, cough, tiredness, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body or muscle aches, or headache. Gastrointestinal symptoms can also manifest with COVID-19, as well as loss of taste or smell.

Continued use of face coverings in public and while at work plus social distancing, surface cleaning and disinfection, good hygiene including frequent handwashing, and isolating when experiencing symptoms of a respiratory illness can help to break the chain of transmission for both of these illnesses!
