DHS Encourages Wisconsinites to Get Vaccinated Against Respiratory Viruses This Fall 

" Vaccines for flu, RSV, and COVID-19 are becoming more available across the state "

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) encourages Wisconsinites to protect themselves against respiratory illnesses this fall. Updated flu and COVID-19 vaccines for the 2025–26 respiratory virus season are becoming widely available statewide to protect against the current strains of these viruses that are circulating this season. RSV vaccines are also available for people who are eligible, including most older adults and people who are pregnant. RSV antibodies are available to protect infants from severe illness.

“Fall is the time of year when we start to see respiratory virus activity increase, and getting vaccinated now gives you the best protection ahead of the season,” said Paula Tran, state health officer and Division of Public Health administrator. “Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect our health because they boost our immune system’s ability to recognize and fight illnesses. This helps reduce your chance of getting seriously ill.”
