I am not sure, we don’t have these government protocols for flu. I mean vaccine is recommended every year and also just in general be careful kind of thing but no restrictions. But I think on personal levels people might consider applying these restrictions themselves like possibly wearing masks everywhere etc

Every 6 months is sheer insanity. So often! I hope that’s not the case. My husband works in the hospital of the relatively decent size chain of hospitals and there was no talk about that. I usually find medical kind of news (and gossip) from him. There was a talk about having to possibly do boosters, but that’s the same we do with flu, so likely annually and it might be doable.

Wearing masks everywhere is totally doable and is also one of the many precautions taken around the panic of Spanish flu.

…and as for vaccinating every six month. Yes, if there is still panic of obtaining coronavirus patients then vaccination is a must for health care workers and anyone else who feels they are in danger.

After the brutal virus effects the lives of millions of sick and innocent, we can go back to offering a flu shot twice per year to the general public, including frontline healthcare workers. I am not sure if a shot every six months is totally necessary but I do believe it is necessary to offer and have one available for those looking to build their immunity. Building immunity is the least that should be done to protect ourselves from flu season. Masks help drastically to contain and prevent the spread of potential virus particles. Face coverings should not be necessary to protect oneself, but they do help prevent unnecessary exposure from others. Get your shots people. Anxiuosly waiting for my turn to get mine.

Yes vaccination is a must. I just meant I haven’t heard about vaccinating every 6 months. Not saying it’s a bad idea, just that I haven’t heard. I did hear possible annual booster. Time will tell
