Welcome to Flu Doctor! Created by Boston Children’s Hospital and Seattle Children’s Hospital for families all across the U.S. and featuring Pediatrician and Mom, Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson (Mama Doc), this skill can help answer your questions about the flu shot, the flu vaccine in general, and influenza virus. She will help answer your questions about the flu shot, different types of flu vaccine, and the influenza virus and its consequences. You can ask questions about the vaccine, who should get it, where you can get a flu shot, how well it works, vaccine ingredients, and how to protect yourself and family from influenza virus and the complications that can develop from the infection. We’ll give updates throughout the flu season about flu activity, how well the vaccine is protecting people, and additional ways for you to protect yourself, your children, and your community. By using the flu vaccine and by gaining more information about flu here, we hope to help make sure everyone around you is as safe as possible. This skill is not a substitute for professional advice.
