Flu, COVID-19, and RSV can be serious health threats. Who should be vaccinated to get
serious protection during the 2024-2025 fall and winter virus season? Dr. Cooper, an OB-GYN,
tells all her pregnant patients to protect themselves and their babies by getting this
year's COVID-19 and flu vaccines. Because RSV is the number one reason babies are hospitalized,
she also recommends the maternal RSV vaccine called Abrisvo when her patients are 32 through
36 weeks pregnant. Another option is to give the baby Nercevimab, which protects babies who are
born during RSV season. People trust their healthcare providers for information on vaccines.
Make a difference this fall and winter virus season. Make strong recommendations for vaccinations
