With the fall respiratory virus season just around the corner, major US pharmacy chains have begun rolling out flu and RSV vaccine appointments
Walgreens is now offering both kinds of shots, the company said Tuesday. Anyone 3 or older can get a flu shot, and adults 60 and older are eligible for the RSV vaccine. Rite Aid also plans to announce availability of those vaccines soon, spokesperson Catherine Carter says. CVS is now scheduling flu vaccinations, as well as allowing walk-in vaccinations at certain pharmacies, spokesperson Amy Thibault said. The chain is also preparing to offer the new RSV shots.
“I would certainly suggest that everyone age 60 years and older [get the vaccine], particularly those individuals who have chronic underlying illnesses” such as diabetes, heart disease or lung disease, he said, adding that the risk of complications from RSV only goes up with age. RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is a highly contagious virus that causes flu-like illness in people of all ages.

This is misleading; most UK citizens have received at least one dose of the shot, meaning more deaths occur in that large group -- and public health authorities say serious adverse effects from the jabs are rare.
