Cervical cancer is the most common HPV-associated cancer among women. Most infections go away on their own, but long-lasting infections can progress to precancer and cancer.

The HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that most often cause cervical cancers. https://bit.ly/3BEYWh1

Adults with certain underlying health conditions are at greater risk of flu’s wildest symptoms. There’s still time to protect yourself with a flu vaccine. If you get sick with flu, talk to your doctor about a second line of defense: flu antiviral treatment to help you get better.

DYK? Norovirus spreads easily and can make you very sick with diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Most norovirus is spread by people who didn’t wash their hands. If you get sick, you can shed billions of norovirus particles. Always wash your hands with soap and water. Hand sanitizer alone will not kill the virus.

CDC recommends RSV vaccines for all adults ages 75 years and older, and for adults ages 60–74 years who are at increased risk of severe RSV.

- The RSV vaccine is not annual—you do not need to get a dose every RSV season.
- If you have already received an RSV vaccine, you do not need another dose at this time.
- If you have a moderate or severe illness, you should wait until you recover before receiving an RSV vaccine.
- If you have a minor illness, such as a cold, you can get an RSV vaccine.

If you are an older adult, make sure you are protected from severe RSV.

Protect yourself this respiratory virus season by improving ventilation in your home and other indoor spaces.

These actions are especially important to take when:

- you or other people around you have risk factors for severe illness, or
- you or the people around you have recently been exposed to a respiratory virus, are sick, or are recovering.

How do vaccines work?

Vaccines help the body learn how to defend itself from disease without the dangers of severe infection. They imitate infections to engage the body’s natural defenses, and the resulting protection can last throughout the winter respiratory virus season. Getting vaccinated against flu, COVID-19, and RSV can prepare your body for future infection and make sure that you don’t get severely ill if you do get sick.

Protect yourself this fall and winter virus season by getting vaccinated against flu, COVID-19, and RSV (if eligible) at a pharmacy near you.

Most vaccines are covered by health insurance. You can confirm with the pharmacy you’ve selected whether your health insurance will cover your vaccine costs.

If you do not have health insurance, there still may be coverage options available to help cover the cost of vaccines.
