New Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) resources help health care providers and patients prepare for the 2023 respiratory virus season.
Health care provider resources include materials on how to talk with patients about flu, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus vaccines; print materials for patients, comprehensive clinical guidance, and more:
- Healthcare Provider Toolkit: Preparing Your Patients for the Fall and Winter Virus Season.
- Long-Term Care Facilities: Viral Respiratory Pathogens Toolkit.
- Project Firstline: Infection Control Actions for Respiratory Viruses.
CDC also shared resources tailored to other audiences, including adults with limited vaccine access; racial and ethnic minority groups; and refugee, immigrant, and migrant populations.
