Respiratory syncytial, influenza and SARS CoV 2 viruses are already wreaking havoc across the US. Some referring to the current disease climate as a “tripledemic”.
Although an RSV vaccine is not yet available, there are for flu and COVID. Physicians may continue to purchase additional flu vaccine doses as supplies last.
Sanofi Pasteur, the manufacturer of Fluzone High Dose, Fluzone, and Flublok can ship vaccine now through their website www.vaccineshoppe.com. States are providing free COVID 19 vaccines as they have been since they’ve been approved.
Always a great resource for disease surveillance data, the CDC’s FluView shares the facts, and it isn’t a pretty picture.
