The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently updated their guidance for viruses like COVID-19, influenza (flu), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) which can affect your nose, throat, and lungs.
The CDC recommends following five steps to prevent illness (called “core prevention strategies”) and to layer (add on) three additional steps (called “additional prevention strategies”) for more protection from such respiratory viruses.

Vaccination is recommended for all people 6 months of age and older, but did you know that some people may get additional doses of COVID-19 vaccines?
- People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may get one additional dose of updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine two or more months after the last COVID-19 vaccine. They also may receive additional updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine doses and should talk to their health care provider.
- People aged 65 years and older who received one dose of any updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine (Moderna, Pfizer or Novavax) should receive one additional dose of an updated COVID-19 vaccine at least four months after the previous updated dose.
