Israel Reports First Case Of 'Flurona' - Rare Double Infection

Israel has reported its first case of 'flurona' - a rare double infection of COVID-19 and influenza at the same time.

  • Officials say it was a non-vaccinated pregnant woman who was hospitalized.
  • The World Health Organization says it is "possible to catch both diseases at the same time" and the most effective way to prevent 'flurona' is to get the COVID-19 vaccine and the flu shot.
  • Israel also just announced that high-risk individuals should get a fourth dose of the COVID vaccine. 
  • What are some other medical terms (like 'flurona') that could describe 2 or more ailments together?
