Should You Get The Flu Vaccine This Winter? This New Study May Change Your Mind

As winter approaches, it’s a question many of us are pondering - should we get the influenza vaccine - otherwise known as the flu jab, or flu shot? Does it make us more or less likely to catch Covid? Could it lead to a worse infection? What happens if we catch flu and covid at the same time? And if we’ve got Long Covid, could the jab trigger a relapse?

In this film I go through the most recently published studies, and my own brand new study of 806 Covid long haulers to try and find some answers.

Wondering who I am and why I’m making these films about Covid-19? I talk about it here: https://youtu.be/FULycGPmN18
