IDSA's new respiratory virus vaccine recommendations (bit.ly/4qNof5u) strongly recommended vaccination against COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus for people with weakened immune systems, who face a higher risk of becoming seriously ill from respiratory viruses.
IDSA recommends:
✅COVID-19 vaccination for everyone with a compromised immune system ages 6 months and older. An additional dose may provide longer protection for some people and should be discussed with a clinician based on individual risk and local COVID-19 activity.
✅Annual influenza vaccination for everyone with a compromised immune system ages 6 months and older. Some patients may benefit from high-dose or adjuvanted flu vaccines. Live-attenuated influenza vaccines should not be given to people who are immunocompromised.
✅RSV vaccination for immunocompromised adults ages 18 and older. For immunocompromised adolescents younger than 18, patients, families and clinicians should discuss vaccination based on individual risk.
