Your health matters to us at Centrum Pharmacy—we’re here to help you stay well all season.
Understand RSV, Flu, and COVID-19
- RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus): Often thought of as a childhood illness, RSV can affect people of all ages, especially older adults and those with chronic conditions. It can lead to serious respiratory complications.
- Influenza (Flu): The flu can cause severe illness and spreads quickly in communities during winter. Annual vaccination is the best defense.
- COVID-19: While vaccines have significantly reduced severe outcomes, boosters remain important to maintain protection, especially during high-risk seasons.
Vaccination is Key
Protecting yourself with vaccines is the most effective way to reduce your risk. Centrum Pharmacy offers:
- Flu shots for all eligible age groups
- COVID-19 booster doses
- RSV prevention options for high-risk adults
Getting vaccinated not only helps protect you but also reduces the chance of spreading illnesses to vulnerable family members and friends.
Healthy Habits to Stay Well
Alongside vaccines, simple daily habits can make a big difference:
- Wash hands frequently and avoid touching your face
- Wear masks in crowded or high-risk areas if you’re feeling unwell
- Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated
- Get adequate sleep and manage stress
Medication Preparedness
Ensure you have enough of your prescription and over-the-counter medications for the season. Centrum Pharmacy can help you review your medications and provide guidance for symptom relief if you do get sick.
When to Seek Help
If you experience severe symptoms such as high fever, difficulty breathing, or persistent fatigue, contact your healthcare provider promptly. Early intervention can make a significant difference in recovery. Visit us today to learn more about RSV, flu, and COVID-19 vaccines and make your winter wellness plan.
