CDC estimates that #flu has caused at least 20 million illnesses, 230,000 hospitalizations, & 14,000 deaths so far this season. Seek medical care if you think you have flu & are at higher risk. You may be prescribed a flu antiviral drug. Full report: https://t.co/bR1HB5pgLZ

Each year, thousands of pregnant people are hospitalized due to #flu complications, accounting for 24-34% of all flu-associated hospitalizations in the United States. https://t.co/ZlBDqkaity

#NIAM is an opportunity to review your immunization history and get any protection you might be missing. It's also a reminder to make your #flu vaccine appointment! Adults should ideally receive their vaccine in September or October, according to #CDC guidance.

Vaccine effectiveness of recombinant and standard dose influenza vaccines against influenza related hospitalization… https://t.co/iLqIIACj8D

[CDC @CDCgov]

CDC recommends use of nirsevimab to protect infants younger than 8 months & some older babies at high risk from severe respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV).

Nirsevimab gives "parents a powerful tool to protect their children against RSV,” @CDCDirector. https://t.co/4hstDawXZD

[Camille Nelson Kotton @KottonNelson]

Live from the ACIP – we just voted in favor of a dose of nirsevimab, a monoclonal Ab, to prevent RSV for all infants, less than eight months of age, born during or entering their first RSV season. We recommended a 2nd dose for those 8 to 19 months, who are at risk for severe RSV.

We must ensure that the new #RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) 1 dose immunization is available at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because of inability to pay.
