People are sharing that they have completed their annual flu and COVID-19 booster shots, timing the vaccinations ahead of holiday gatherings when generations mix and virus transmission typically rises. Health officials have long urged vaccination in the autumn months so protection peaks during the winter season, and families are treating the combined shot visit as a yearly routine.
Why now: The holiday season is approaching, prompting families to maximise protection before gathering with young and older relatives.
