Wisconsin Health Officials Urge Respiratory Illness Vaccination
Wisconsin health officials are urging residents to get vaccinated for several respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19, as the weather grows colder.
The plea comes as people face confusion and hurdles in getting a COVID shot amid federal changes. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services notes that respiratory viruses typically increase in the fall.
Although current illness levels are low, health officials advise residents to get vaccinated now for the flu, RSV, and COVID-19. According to Tom Haupt, a respiratory disease epidemiologist, it can take up to two weeks for the vaccines to fully protect against these viruses.
Vaccines not only protect you, but they also prevent the spread of viruses, which is important for everyone, especially people who become very sick from these viruses.
