For the first time ever, vaccines for Covid , the flu and respiratory syncytial virus are now available in the U.S. Most people only need to worry about whether they should get an updated Covid shot and flu vaccine at the same time.
Meanwhile, only adults 60 and older are eligible for a new RSV vaccine, which means they have to juggle all three shots this fall .
Public health officials are urging eligible Americans to take all three vaccines so the nation can avoid another "tripledemic".
Covid hospitalizations increased for the seventh straight week in the U.S. , hitting 17,418 as of the week ended Aug. 26 .
RSV cases also are starting to inch up in some parts of the Southeast .
The updated Covid vaccine should be the No. 1 priority because the virus is spreading at higher levels.
