| The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has always been clear on who should get a seasonal influenza vaccine when it becomes available each year: everyone 6 months and older. For some people, though, the risk of having severe complications is higher than it is for the rest of the population, the CDC reminded everyone last week. If you are in one of these groups, often visit or live with someone in one of these groups, it's even more important to get vaccinated against seasonal influenza. When scheduling your seasonal influenza vaccine, it's also a good time to ask about getting boosted with the COVID-19 bivalent vaccine that's expected to be available next month. That vaccine will help prevent the latest Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 strains of COVID-19. With one visit, you can be doubly protected. | | | |
