When can I receive a flu, COVID-19 or RSV vaccine?
Getting vaccinated before respiratory virus season peaks helps give your body time to build protection before virus activity increases.
Flu: Getting vaccinated in early fall (September or October) before flu activity peaks is encouraged. It typically takes a couple weeks to build immunity.
COVID-19: Getting vaccinated in early fall (September or October) is encouraged.
RSV: For older adults and adults at high-risk for RSV complications, it’s encouraged you receive your RSV vaccine in early fall, which will offer protection throughout RSV season.
Pregnant women can receive the maternal RSV vaccine during weeks 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, between September and January.
Infants 8 months and younger and children 8 to 19 months old at high-risk for severe RSV can receive monoclonal antibodies between October through March.
Can I get flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccines together?
In many cases, yes. Your primary care provider can help you decide the best combination for you.
Are these vaccines covered by insurance?
Most vaccines are covered by insurance. Check with your insurance provider for details.
Do I need a flu vaccine every year?
Yes. Flu viruses change each year and protection fades over time.
It’s recommended everyone age 6 months and older receive a flu vaccine every year. Protection from the flu vaccine decreases over time and the flu vaccine is updated each year to protect against the circulating strain.
How often should I receive the flu, COVID-19 or RSV vaccines?
Flu: A flu vaccine is recommended every year because flu viruses change and protection decreases over time.
COVID-19: Vaccine recommendations may change based on age, health conditions and previous vaccination history.
RSV: RSV vaccination is generally a one-time vaccine for eligible adults. Infants and young children may receive RSV immunization based on age and risk factors.
Talk with your healthcare provider about which vaccines are recommended for you.
What are RSV monoclonal antibodies?
Monoclonal antibodies are not vaccines and do not activate the immune system.
Instead, the antibodies themselves provide direct and immediate passive protection from severe RSV. This protection lasts for at least five months and can prevent hospitalization.
Can I receive my vaccines without an appointment?
Many locations have walk-in availability to receive your vaccines. Find a location near you.
