Fight the Flu & COVID-19 - Get Vaccinated
Flu and COVID-19 are contagious respiratory (lung) infections that can both cause serious illness. Although flu and COVID-19 can circulate year-round, more people tend to get sick with these illnesses in the fall and winter.
The flu and COVID-19 vaccines are updated each year to provide the best protection against new variants. Staying up to date on both vaccinations is a safe and powerful way to help prevent severe illness and hospitalization—you can even get vaccinated for both at the same time.
Everyone 6 months and older should get their updated flu and COVID-19 vaccine. Anyone 65 years or older should also receive an additional dose of the 2023–24 COVID-19 vaccine if it’s been 4 months since their last dose.
