Respiratory viruses continue to circulate in our region, and it’s not too late to get vaccinated against flu, COVID 19, pneumonia, and RSV. Staying up to date on recommended immunizations helps lower the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death, especially for older adults and those with chronic conditions.
Flu vaccine: Reduces the risk of flu related outpatient visits and hospitalizations, according to CDC vaccine effectiveness assessments.
COVID 19 vaccine: Provides additional protection against emergency department and urgent care visits and hospitalizations.
RSV vaccine: Offers meaningful protection against severe RSV disease and hospitalization, supported by a large systematic review of U.S. licensed RSV vaccines.
Pneumococcal (pneumonia) vaccines: Recommended by the CDC help prevent severe respiratory illness and death, particularly in older adults and high risk groups.
Vaccination remains one of the most effective tools we have to keep our community healthy. If you haven’t received your seasonal vaccines yet, now is an excellent time to do so.
