Covid, RSV and flu vaccines are now available — here's how to decide whether to get them together

Publishing timestamp: 2023-09-15 09:59:23


Summary

The article discusses the availability of vaccines for Covid, flu, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the U.S. Public health officials are urging eligible Americans to take all three shots to avoid another "tripledemic" of Covid, flu, and RSV. Taking the Covid and flu shots together is considered safe and effective, while the RSV vaccine is currently only available for adults 60 and older. There is little research on administering the RSV shot with another vaccine or giving all three shots together, but health experts believe there is no risk in taking them simultaneously. Some people may choose to take the vaccines separately for various reasons, such as physical comfort or waiting for more data. The order of vaccines recommended is the updated Covid shot first, followed by the RSV shot, and then the flu jab.
