Man who caught the flu and COVID-19 simultaneously urges others to get vaccinated
An Iowa man says both he and a doctor were shocked when both his flu and COVID-19 tests came back positive.
Ryan Hart is a kindergarten teacher in Boone, Iowa. He says he woke up earlier in the week for a faculty meeting and noticed he wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트t feeling well.
바카라 게임 웹사이트The doctor was shocked,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Hart said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트He바카라 게임 웹사이트s like, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Well, I got some news for you. You have all three: The flu 바카라 게임 웹사이트 A and B 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and COVID.'"
Hart바카라 게임 웹사이트s been home with family all week, who are also vaccinated. He says he doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트t even want to think about what this week could have been like if weren바카라 게임 웹사이트t vaccinated for both the flu and coronavirus. Hart's been home with his family all week.

Hart says he has shown symptoms, but they바카라 게임 웹사이트re not too bad at all. He바카라 게임 웹사이트s dealt with a fever, headache, and other typical flu symptoms.
MercyOne바카라 게임 웹사이트s Dr. Jeff Brock, an infectious diseases pharmacy specialist, says he hasn바카라 게임 웹사이트t seen a lot of patients in the hospital with both. He is concerned, however, because of the low flu vaccination rate.
바카라 게임 웹사이트We don바카라 게임 웹사이트t have a lot of people who have gotten that flu shot to protect themselves and we could see more flu cases come up in the future," Brock said.
Brock says the best thing people can do is get vaccinated.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Even though people will get infected with these viruses, it바카라 게임 웹사이트s going to reduce how bad you feel over time,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Brock said.
Hart agrees. He says one of the main reasons he got vaccinated is so the people closest to him stay safe.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I care for my kindergarten kids,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Hart said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트By being boostered and wearing a mask and doing things like that, it just keeps them safe and I can바카라 게임 웹사이트t wait to see them on Monday hopefully.바카라 게임 웹사이트
