Tame the Triple Threat: COVID, Flu, & RSV

COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are all currently circulating. Contracting one or more of these viruses could really knock you off your feet. Knock out this triple threat before it knocks you out. Your local hospital and health departments remind you to stay healthy and get vaccinated against all three viruses, if eligible.

Vaccination greatly reduces your chance of contending with these three heavyweight viruses. Vaccines are widely available at hospitals, pharmacies, local health departments, clinics, Federally Qualified Health Centers and other locations in our regions.

Who should be vaccinated?

According to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

• COVID-19: CDC recommends the updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine for everyone 6 months and older. This includes people who have received a COVID-19 vaccine before and people who have had COVID-19. It is especially important for people aged 65 and older, people with underlying medical conditions, people in long-term care facilities, and people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or might become pregnant to get the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine.
• Flu: An annual flu vaccine, which protects against the three influenza viruses expected to spread this season, is recommended for everyone 6 months and older. If you are at higher risk of developing serious flu complications, flu vaccination is especially important.
• RSV: Parents and expecting parents, talk to your doctor about the two different types of RSV immunizations to determine which option might be best for you and your baby. CDC recommends a single dose of the RSV vaccine for all adults ages 75 and older and for adults ages 60 to 74 who are at increased risk of severe RSV disease. If you received an RSV vaccine last year, you do not need another vaccine.
