COVID-19 may present with change in or loss of taste or smell. Incubation period: 2-14 days (average 5 days) Virus shedding: 2 days before and at least 10 days or more after onset of symptoms. Transmission mechanisms are similar, but COVID-19 is more contagious among certain populations and than the flu.
Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV4) Egg-based. Contains live, attenuated influenza viruses which must replicate in the nasopharynx in order to promote an immune response. Attenuated—to not cause clinical illness. Cold adapted—grow best at 25°C. Temperature sensitive—growth restricted at 37°-39°C.

Only 10 sentinel and 158 non-sentinel specimens tested positive for influenza during the 2020−21 season.
All influenza vaccines currently available in the US, with the exception of the live attenuated influenza vaccine, are approved for ages ≥65 years. Five standard-dose, unadjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccines (SD-IIVs). One high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV). One adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV).
This season, flu vaccine is more important than ever. Flu vaccine protects you, your loved ones, and your community from flu.
