Updated Flu - Covid - RSV Info | |
|
Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-uhl) virus, or RSV, is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. Most people recover in a week or two, but RSV can be serious. Infants and older adults are more likely to develop severe RSV and need hospitalization. Vaccines are available to protect older adults from severe RSV. Vaccines for pregnant people or monoclonal antibody products are available to protect infants and young children from severe RSV.

Getting an annual flu vaccine reduces the severity and spread of respiratory illness.
This is more important than ever because flu, RSV, and Covid-19 are all circulating during the fall and winter seasons.
Flu vaccination is especially important for adults 65 years and older, who account for most hospitalizations and deaths from flu – and from Covid-19.
We share 5 reasons why a flu shot for seniors is so important for protecting their health.
