Cold and Flu Season

Influenza season this year is predicted to be more severe than normal (https://www.npr.org/2025/11/19/nx-s1-5607250/flu-season-h3n2-influenza-virus-shot). SMA encourages vaccinations for BOTH COVID and Influenza. You can obtain both at your local pharmacy without a prescription.

During cold and flu season it is important to have COVID home tests available, as the prevalence of COVID increases in the winter months. These tests will help you to understand if you have COVID.

Please Note:
