Updated Flu and COVID Vaccines This Fall | Colorado Springs News

Major medical groups are rolling out updated flu and COVID-19 vaccine guidelines this fall to cut through the confusion and protect against serious illness. With FDA approval already in place, flu shots are available now, and COVID-19 vaccines will follow soon. A new mRNA flu vaccine shows strong promise for those 50+, while a nasal spray option is now available for eligible age groups. For COVID-19, boosters remain crucial—especially for seniors and those with chronic conditions. Vaccines aren’t just about avoiding sniffles—they dramatically reduce hospitalizations and ER visits, especially for older adults and kids. RSV protection is also on the table, with vaccines and medications recommended for high-risk infants and elders. Getting shots has never been easier: most pharmacies offer both vaccines, insurance covers them, and experts advise getting your flu shot by October to stay ahead of the season.
