for. that s what they re calling this twindemic. i assume the number one thing people can do is go get their flu shots. what can people do to protect themselves? when you talk about flu overall, you get millions of people who get diagnosed with flu in any given year, up to 800,000 hospitalizations and up to 61,000 people dying. much of that can be sort of mitigated by the vaccine, which is around. one thing i want to show you as much as we talk about the vaccine and hesitancy around covid, take a look at flu numbers as well in terms of vaccine uptake. it s 52% overall that people actually get their flu shots. this is the estimate of burden of flu, but 52%, half of the country gets their flu shot every year. i find it so interesting, right? at one point it was the worst pandemic of our lifetime.
