Similitudes y diferencias entre influenza y COVID-19 Estamos entrando a la temporada de influenza estacional y muchos de los síntomas de la influenza son similares a los del COVID-19, incluyendo fiebre, cuerpo cortado, dolor muscular, cansancio y tos, entre otros. Si usted o uno de sus seres queridos presenta alguno de estos síntomas y desea confirmar el diagnóstico, los CDC recomiendan que se realice una prueba de detección. En la actualidad, existe una prueba para detectar los virus de la influenza estacional tipo A y B y una prueba para detectar el virus que causa el COVID-19. Si desea vacunarse contra la influenza, puede recibir la vacuna en la oficina de su médico de cabecera o en los departamentos de salud y farmacias. De acuerdo a los CDC, es posible administrar las vacunas contra la influenza y las vacunas contra el COVID-19 al mismo tiempo.
