It's Not Too Late to Get Vaccinated This Respiratory Season
Vaccines reduce hospitalizations and severe outcomes from flu, COVID-19, RSV, and pneumococcal disease, experts say, urging vaccination during the 2025-2026 respiratory season.
- This respiratory season, the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases and healthcare professionals urge vaccination, stressing it’s not too late to protect against influenza, COVID-19, RSV and pneumococcal disease.
- Because vaccines lower severe outcomes, vaccination is the most effective way to prevent severe disease outcomes and can make illness milder while reducing missed work or school and easing health-care system strain.
- Regulators note that recommended vaccines undergo extensive regulatory safety testing and ongoing monitoring, and common side effects are normal immune responses and rare.
- Because coverage can vary, note that federal recommendations impact availability and coverage while state governments and insurance companies develop their own rules; if barriers arise, talk with a trusted healthcare professional.
- Specific guidance notes that updated COVID-19 vaccine is recommended for high-risk groups and pneumococcal vaccination for children younger than 5 and adults 50 and older, with resources on the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases website for the 2025-2026 season.
