Reducing Your Risk of Infections
To help protect you and your loved ones from common infections, like Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), influenza (flu) and COVID-19, make sure you are up to date on your vaccinations.
With the recent outbreak of measles this year, be sure your child is current on their immunizations. Measles is a virus infection that results in a runny nose, fever and red eyes, followed by a rash that begins in the face and spreads down to the trunk and extremities. The vaccine is very effective at preventing disease: one dose is 93% effective, and a 2-dose vaccine (at 1 year and 4 years of age) is 97% effective.
RSV is a highly contagious virus that can lead to hospitalization or in some cases, life-threatening complications, especially for infants and young children, seniors over the age of 65 and those living with chronic illnesses. Learn more about RSV and how to protect others against it.
