Fall 2024 Vaccine Overview
Here is a quick summary of how best to protect yourself and your family as we head into flu (and RSV and covid) season.
Everyone from very young children (6-months or older) to seniors should get an influenza vaccine and a covid vaccine in mid-late October. It’s safe to get them at the same time, or you can split them by 2 weeks if that makes you feel more comfortable. Keep in mind that it takes your body 2 weeks to develop protective antibodies after a vaccine is given, so you shouldn’t wait until people around you start getting sick. You certainly want protection before virus spread surges around Thanksgiving.
Last year, people hospitalized with covid were 60% more likely to die than those hospitalized with the flu. In addition, long covid symptoms, including chronic exhaustion and breathing problems, are an ongoing risk for children, teens, and adults. > Read the Rest of the Article
