If you missed the early fall push for flu and COVID-19 vaccines, it’s not too late.
It takes the body about two weeks to build up immunity after either shot — meaning vaccination is needed before these viruses start spreading.
Last year , just 45 percent of adults got a flu vaccination and even fewer, 23 percent , got a COVI-19 shot.
The CDC recommends an RSV vaccination for everyone 75 and older, and for people 60 to 74 who are at increased risk.
It's also recommended late in pregnancy to protect babies born during the fall and winter .
The vaccines are supposed to be free under Medicare , Medicaid and most private insurance plans if people use an in-network provider.
