Allergy + COVID collision?

I’ve seen several reports that spring 2022 could be an especially nasty allergy season, and as COVID-19 cases begin to spike again in Western Europe (which usually serves as a precursor to surges in America), now would be a good time to stock up on your at-home COVID-19 tests. We know that COVID-19 symptoms vary widely, and for those who are fully vaccinated, they are more likely to mirror allergy symptoms. So, make sure you’re prepared to not wind up in a situation where you’re having to question whether you have allergies or COVID-19 in the weeks to come.

Stay healthy,
