The flu vaccine is now available in some locations. And new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines are recommended for some. "We should do what we can to protect ourselves — and others — with the best tool we have: the flu vaccine." Not only that, but COVID-19 and RSV could again spike at the same time as the flu, triggering a "tripledemic," Gandhi said. Women who are between 32 and 36 weeks pregnant can also protect their infants at birth by getting a new Pfizer RSV vaccine.
