Everyone is at risk from flu - even healthy children and adults. While it's riskier for some people, ANYONE can get seriously ill.

COVID and flu are caused by two different viruses, and both can cause you to become seriously sick, hospitalized, or even die.

Do you know the symptoms of flu? Flu usually comes on fast and causes fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, and achiness. It may look like COVID, so if you feel sick it’s important to get tested for BOTH diseases!

Celebrate National Black AIDS Awareness Day with our friends at Meharry Medical College Division of Public Health Practice on Feb. 7th, 10:30am-1:30pm! Lunch provided!
