COVID-19, flu and RSV vaccines are all available this fall: See what some doctors recommend and why
Fox News
There is significant concern about a "tripledemic" this fall and winter, with COVID, flu and RSV cases all potentially rising at the same time. Here's what some doctors recommend on vaccines.
But the possibility of a "tripledemic" may be blunted by an arsenal of vaccines to fight each one for the first time this winter. "If you haven’t had a COVID booster shot in 2023, I highly recommend you get one as soon as possible." "There will be a reformulated COVID-19 vaccination with additional protection becoming available in early October, but you should not wait to get that one." Nirsevimab is recommended for infants younger than 8 months who are born during RSV season, which often coincides with flu season from fall to spring. "A certain percentage of patients should be getting the combination of all three vaccines."
"As a preventative measure, especially for those who are immunocompromised or have underlying health conditions, it is important to receive vaccinations against these viruses ahead of fall and winter," said Baumgarten.
