As respiratory viruses become more prevalent during the fall and winter months, the importance of annual vaccinations is even more critical. COVID-19, influenza (flu), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pose significant health risks, especially for older adults and immunocompromised individuals. Vaccination remains one of the most effective and safest ways to build immunity and prevent serious illness, hospitalizations, and deaths.
