"We'd rather prevent, obviously, than treat,"
"Now that we have COVID vaccination available and influenza vaccination available, it takes several weeks for us to develop immunity, so now is a really great time to get vaccinated,"
"There was a study that just came out ... showing that in the VA [Veterans] Health Systems, that even in this last season, COVID-19 vaccination reduced hospitalizations, deaths and ER visits in the VA population,"
"That's part of good citizenship, of trying to protect other people,"
As virus season approaches, take preventive steps to stay healthy during fall and winter. Flu vaccination is the best protection and is recommended for anyone older than six months. COVID vaccination reduces severe infection, hospitalizations, deaths, and emergency visits and remains safe and effective. Vaccines require several weeks to produce immunity, so scheduling influenza and COVID shots now is advised. Flu and COVID vaccines can be administered simultaneously at pharmacies; confirm eligibility with a doctor or local pharmacy. Maintain overall health through exercise, nutritious meals, and handwashing. Avoid people who are sick; sick individuals should stay home or wear a mask to protect others.
