Infectious Respiratory Diseases
Infectious respiratory diseases pose a risk to our health.
These infectious respiratory diseases are spread from person to person and can cause severe infections, worsen pre-existing respiratory conditions, and lead to short and long-term side effects — and nearly everyone is at risk. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends different vaccines to provide protection, build our defenses, and limit the severity, spread, and widespread threat of infectious respiratory disease.
