Double Protection: The RSV + Flu Vaccine Combo to Boost Seniors' Health
16 janvier 2025
Respiratory infections pose a major health challenge for older adults,
whose immune systems are often weakened, making these infections more severe
and potentially life-threatening. The two main seasonal viruses responsible are
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and the influenza virus.
RSV is a leading cause of severe respiratory illnesses, as is the flu, which can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia. Due to their vulnerability, adults aged 65 and older require enhanced protection against these infections.
