The flu season can be severe, but for the past couple of years it has been different. There still remains the looming threat of a combination of a severe flu season with COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). This year, with the availability of an updated COVID-19 vaccine booster—that targets the XBB.1.5 strain—in addition to the influenza and RSV vaccines, some medical experts are optimistic.
