AMA敦促美国人获取最新流感疫苗、RSV疫苗和COVID-19疫苗, The AMA urges Americans to get updated flu, RSV, and COVID-19 vaccines to prevent severe illness this season.

随着较寒冷的天气增加室内聚集,呼吸道病毒预计会更容易传播。 As colder weather increases indoor gatherings, respiratory viruses are expected to spread more easily. 美国医学协会敦促所有6个月及以上的人尽快获得流感疫苗,指出它可以将儿童住院人数减少60%,成人住院人数减少40%。 The American Medical Association urges everyone 6 months and older to get a flu vaccine as soon as possible, noting it can reduce hospitalizations by up to 60% in children and 40% in adults. 去年的流感季节导致超过620,000人住院,27,000人死亡,疫苗接种率低于50%。 Last year’s flu season caused over 620,000 hospitalizations and 27,000 deaths, with vaccination rates below 50%. 75岁以上的成年人,以及具有某些卫生条件的50-74岁的人,应该考虑进行RSV疫苗接种,而不是每年接种一次。 Adults 75 and older, and those 50–74 with certain health conditions, should consider RSV vaccination, which is not annual. 孕妇可以通过RSV疫苗接种或单克隆抗体保护婴儿。 Pregnant individuals can protect infants through RSV vaccination or monoclonal antibodies. 6个月或6个月以上的人,特别是风险较高的人,也应该获得现有的COVID-19疫苗。 People 6 months and older, especially those at higher risk, should also get a current COVID-19 vaccine. AMA建议咨询保健服务提供者,并采取更多步骤,如洗手、咳嗽、改善室内空气质量、生病时留在家中,帮助减少病毒传播。 The AMA recommends consulting a healthcare provider and taking additional steps like handwashing, covering coughs, improving indoor air quality, and staying home when sick to help reduce virus spread.
