Gov. Jared Polis Receives Flu Shot, Urges Others To Keep Hospitals From Filling Up
DENVER (CBS4) - Gov. Jared Polis says the high number of COVID-19 hospitalizations and cases is another reason to get your flu shot now. Polis joined other lawmakers on Monday in getting the flu shot at the state capitol.
"With 1,000 COVID patients in our hospitals, we are in a situation where we simply can't afford as a state to have our normal flu numbers. We've got to beat this thing," Polis said.
Polis says the flu shot is one way to help keep hospitals from filling up.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has more information about how to get a flu shot.
