STAY WELL WITH RESPIRATORY VACCINATIONS e following tips on helping to prevent respiratory illnesses with winter immunizations are provided by pharmacist Linda R. Bernstein, Pharm.D: ere are three immunizations available for the fall and winter season to help your immune system ght major respiratory viral diseases: u, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). e Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes that, based on age, pregnancy status, medical condition and risk group, immunization provides the best protection for lowering the risk of serious illness, hospitalizations, long-range complications, and death. Vaccine side eects tend to be mild and short-lived. Be sure to mention your allergies before use. Here's a look at the available vaccines: Flu Vaccine: People ages six months and older, unless advised otherwise, should get an updated u vaccine annually. High dose and enhanced vaccines are recommended for people 65 years and older. Ask your physician which is best for you. COVID-19: COVID-19 vaccine dosing is based on age, immune status, and vaccine history. People ages ve and older are eligible to receive one dose of the updated COVID-19 vaccine to keep your vaccinations up-to-date and protect against serious illness, including long COVID. Note: Some age and patient groups may require additional doses. RSV: RSV is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. It can be dangerous, however, for babies, toddlers, and older adults. Parents, pregnant women, and older adults should develop an RSV prevention plan with their healthcare provider. e CDC recommends an RSV vaccine for ages 75 and older and for people who are 60 to 74 and at increased risk of RSV – please check with your health care provider to see if this pertains to your health status. It is best to get vaccinated in the late summer and early fall before RSV starts to spread. For more information on the best options, doses, and timing, contact your health care provider or pharmacist, or visit CDC.gov. Reducing your risk of respiratory illness: e University of California, San Francisco, provides the following tips to reduce your risk of respiratory illness: • Stay home if you have a fever or are experiencing u symptoms. • Stay home until you are fever-free for at least 24 hours unless you need medical care. • Cover your mouth and nose with tissue when coughing or sneezing. • Wash your hands oen with soap water. Remember, "If you see something, say something." Please plan on joining us for our monthly Community Awareness meeting on the second Wednesday of each month at 10 am in e Lodge Ballroom.
