Not sure which fall vaccines are right for you? You're not alone. 🤔

CNN reports that several medical organizations have released their own 2026-27 guidance on flu, COVID-19, and RSV vaccines, and that these vaccines are available at most major pharmacies.

A few highlights from the reporting:

Doctors say October is an ideal time for a flu shot, since protection can fade over the season.
Updated COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for adults.
RSV vaccination is aimed at older adults and those with certain high-risk conditions.
Guidance can feel confusing, but you don't have to sort it out alone. Talk with your provider about what makes sense for your age, health history, and risk factors.

Questions? Call 908-925-2273 or visit carestationmedical.com to find the location nearest you in Linden, Springfield, West Orange, or Secaucus.

There’s a bit of a chill in the air, pumpkin spice in your coffee and children back to school — which means the threat of respiratory viruses like Covid-19, influenza and RSV is looming.

💊 **Are Your Medications Working Together Safely?**

❤️ At Care Station Medical Group, we encourage patients to review their medications regularly with their healthcare provider. A simple medication review can help identify potential risks and keep your treatment plan on track.
