COVID-19, Flu, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are respiratory viruses that can cause severe disease resulting in hospitalization and sometimes death. Everyone 6 months and older should get a seasonal flu vaccine and an updated COVID-19 vaccine to protect against infection, serious illness, and hospitalization. To reduce the risk of becoming sick with a respiratory virus and keep our community healthy, it is important to take precautions, especially if you or someone in your household is at higher risk for severe disease.
Protect yourself and others by taking these steps to help stop the spread of illnesses like COVID-19, Flu, and RSV:
-Get Vaccinated
-Wash Your Hands
-Cover Your Coughs and Sneezes
-Mask up if you need to
-Get Tested
-Get Treatment
-Stay at Home
