We will not be offering the RSV vaccines at the vaccination clinic at this time, but if patients would like to receive a vaccination, they may schedule an appointment with your primary care provider.
How Often Should You Get All Three Vaccines? 
Influenza: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests an influenza vaccine every year, ideally by the end of October. Reminder: Adults 65 and older should get the high-dose version for stronger protection. (The CDC estimates that 70 to 85 percent of flu-related deaths occur among people 65 and older.)
COVID: It is now suggested that a COVID vaccination is most effective when received each fall as the virus has developed into a more seasonal pattern. It’s recommended that everyone 6 months and older get the newly updated shot, which provides better protection against the virus variants that are currently circulating.
RSV: The CDC recommends the RSV vaccine for all adults over 75 years old, or adults 60-74 who are at higher risk of developing severe RSV. There are also two immunizations recommended to protect infants from severe RSV: either a maternal RSV vaccine given during pregnancy or an RSV antibody given to infants after birth. The RSV does not need to be administered every year - the CDC recommends a single dose and then further evaluation to determine if additional vaccinations are necessary.
