Every year, respiratory viruses such as influenza (flu), COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cause hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths during the fall and winter virus season. In Tulsa County, people have more tools than ever before to help protect themselves, their families and communities from severe respiratory illnesses such as seasonal immunizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPreventive measures like frequent handwashing, staying home when sick, and getting up-to-date on safe and effective vaccines can help prevent serious illness, hospitalization and even death,\u201d said THD nurse and Associate Director of Preventive Health Services JP Williams. \u201cWe understand people may have questions about vaccine access, so we advise everyone to talk with their healthcare provider or check with their insurance carrier for more information about what is covered. Now is the best time to get vaccinated, as we typically see a rise in respiratory illnesses in the fall.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
