What You Need to Know

• A number of health conditions can leave people more vulnerable to serious illness from the flu. They include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, asthma and HIV/AIDS.
• Many of these conditions also increase the risk for serious illness from COVID-19 and RSV.
• Adults with an underlying health condition should receive the recommended flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccines to protect themselves against these respiratory illnesses. Talk to your doctor, nurse or health clinic, or your local pharmacist.
