TL;DR
Pennsylvania doctors urge adults and children to get updated vaccines for flu, COVID-19 and RSV this fall and winter, citing guidance from pediatric and family-medicine groups even as the CDC’s seasonal recommendations were not updated this summer; vaccines are encouraged for all 6 months and older, with some groups needing extra doses, and protections for infants through maternal RSV vaccination and monoclonal antibodies are highlighted. Emphasis is also placed on timely flu vaccination (September–October) to reduce severe illness and hospitalizations amid ongoing measles outbreaks in the state.
