COVID-19

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that can cause respiratory illness. Variants of the virus are spreading throughout the U.S. with surges expected during the Fall and Winter. Vaccinated groups are losing immunity over time as many Americans have not received the updated COVID-19 vaccine.

Flu (Influenza)

Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes lungs. It can be mild or severe and sometimes lead to death. Children are most likely to get sick from the flu. The best way to prevent it is by getting the flu vaccine each year, which protects you from the four virus strains expected to circulate that season.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

RSV is a highly contagious respiratory virus that causes cold-like symptoms. Infection can be serious for infants and older adults, as well as anyone with an underlying health condition or weakened immune system- such as cancer or congenital heart disease. If you are pregnant or age 60 or older, a vaccine is available to protect you from severe RSV.
