"We are very, very concerned about the upcoming pan-respiratory season," Dr. Marcus Plescia, chief medical officer for the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, said in a briefing Wednesday, according to CNN.

A big reason for that concern? Americans who fail to get vaccines either because they believe the lies that the anti-vaxxers tell, or because they have become complacent."

The three viruses about which health officials are concerned when they speak of the pan-respiratory season coming up: flu, Covid, and RSV. There's now a vaccine for the latter for older folks, a flu shot is recommended prior to the end of October, and a new Covid booster for those 65+ and who are at risk will be available this fall.
