flu shot

Here we go again? The plot thickened Tuesday when Boise Mayor, Lauren McLean, announced new COVID-19 policies for events this fall, and it felt a little like 2020 might be happening all over again. But this is why it won't.

Saint Alphonsus is giving away free flu shots during a drive-thru event this Saturday in Meridian.

If you made it through the last flu season without missing a day of work or school, you're one of the few. The flu vaccine that was supposed to keep us from getting sick was only 36 percent effective last time around, but the CDC says they've tweaked it to be more effective this year. Hope so!

Flu season is coming, and the flu shots are already available to help us stay healthy and kick sickness to the curb this fall and winter.

There are at least 12,000 new cases of the flu each week across the country, but Idaho is much healthier it turns out.  So how much longer will flu season last?

You've heard it a million times, if you don't put on your coat you'll catch the flu..right. There may be something behind that statement this month. Boise has seen an increase in cases of the Flu this year compared to last.
