Two doctors are talking about everything Chicagoans need to know about the new COVID vaccine.
Dr. Black said the vaccine is available from healthcare providers, pharmacies, hospitals and federally qualified healthcare clinics.
"Natural immunity can help after an infection," said Dr. Alfredo Mena Lora, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Illinois Chicago. "However, vaccine induced immunity is much more powerful.""Our new vaccine reflects the most recent circulating variants," Dr. Mena Lora said."Of course, relative to what things were like a year ago, it's much less than what we saw back a year ago," Black said.
As for the order in which you should get the COVID and flu vaccines, "You can really get them all at the same visit. There's no recommendation necessarily to stagger them. Certainly you can choose to get one and then the other. But if you're able to get them in one visit, that's completely fine as well," Mena Lora said.
