Vaccination is Key: Protect Yourself and Your Family

Staying healthy is one of the best ways to care for yourself and your family. Vaccines help protect you from getting very sick from things like the flu, RSV, and COVID-19. These illnesses can spread easily and be dangerous for young children, older adults, and people with health problems.

Vaccines are safe and tested. Doctors recommend a flu shot every year. The RSV vaccine helps protect babies, older adults, and people with certain conditions. COVID-19 shots are updated often to fight new virus types.

Ask your doctor which vaccines are right for you and your family. Your doctor can tell you when and how to get them. Staying up to date helps keep everyone safe.

When more people get vaccinated, fewer people get sick. That means fewer hospital visits and healthier families. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about vaccines. They can help you make the best choice for your health.
