Health providers try to get ahead of respiratory diseases this fall

Health providers hope you roll up your sleeve before the flu or COVID-19 potentially wrecks your fall and winter. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is recommending Wisconsinites get vaccinated against respiratory illnesses such as influenza, COVID-19, and RSV. The flu and COVID-19 vaccine is recommended for everyone six months or older, while the shot for RSV is encouraged for those over 60. DHS says getting all three vaccines simultaneously is safe if you are eligible. According to WISN, Dr. Stephanie Schauer noted only 35 percent of Wisconsinites received one of the three vaccines last year, including 19 percent for the COVID-19 vaccine.

 

Door County Medical Center is among the health providers in the area urging you to schedule your vaccination appointments online. The first flu shot appointments in Sturgeon Bay are available on Monday. The Sister Bay Clinic began accepting appointments on Friday, with other sites in Algoma and Washington Island coming on other dates. The updated COVID-19 vaccine will be offered once it becomes available. You can find the schedule below. You can also contact your health provider or pharmacy to see where and when you can receive your vaccinations.
