Doctors say don't delay getting the flu shot this year.

RSV continues to spread across the country and the virus, which commonly hits children, has been filling up hospitals and overwhelming health systems.

The flu and COVID-19 are not helping, with levels of both rising in many areas. As hospitals become more stressed experts are becoming increasingly worried about thelong-term effects of the coronavirus, especially on the brain.

Dr. David Pate, the former CEO of St. Luke's Health System, joins Idaho Matters to talk more about RSV and long-COVID.
