It's that time of year again, when influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) circulate in our community. Add in COVID-19, and it could be a dangerous time for you and your family.
These respiratory illnesses can cause cough, fever, sore throat, body aches and more. You're at higher risk to get very sick if you're:
- Under age 5 (especially under 2).
- Over age 65.
- Pregnant.
- Living with a health condition like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease.
Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacy when and where you can get all your doses of vaccine. Learn more about COVID-19, flu, and RSV vaccines.
