New CDC studies show RSV vaccines are helping protect older adults from serious illness, highlighting how caring for the health of older generations strengthens our families and communities as a whole. At Generations United, we believe that fostering intergenerational connections means looking out for one another, especially those most vulnerable to serious health risks. These new findings from CDC reinforce how tools like RSV vaccines can support the well-being of our older loved ones and ensure they stay healthy, active, and engaged in our lives. 📊 Highlights from the 2023–2024 RSV season: 🔹 79% reduction in RSV-related hospitalizations among adults 60+ 🔹 RSV vaccines helped reduce the hospitalization risk for adults ages 60–74 by 75% and by 76% in adults 75 and older 🔹 73% reduction in hospitalizations for immunocompromised older adults As families and communities prepare for the next respiratory season, this is a critical reminder that vaccines are not just a personal health decision—they are part of the care we extend across generations. Let’s keep older adults healthy, active, and connected. 🧬 Explore the studies: JAMA: https://buff.ly/Iob5snp The Lancet: https://buff.ly/SsD46lo #OlderAmericansMonth #IntergenerationalHealth #RSV #Vaccines #CareAcrossGenerations #PublicHealth (fb)
