The good news is adults 65 years of age and older can reduce their risk of severe illness by receiving recommended vaccinations, including another dose of the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine six months after their first dose.

Leveraging Antivirals Against Rising Rates of Flu and COVID-19

Last Updated 02/13/2026

As communities navigate the winter respiratory virus season, state and local health leaders are updating response plans to protect older adults, individuals with underlying medical conditions, and underserved populations. With vaccination rates declining and continued confusion about changing government guidance, the timely use of COVID-19 and influenza antivirals remains a critical, yet often underused, tool to reduce severe illness, preserve hospital capacity, and limit outbreaks.

CVEEP convened a webinar featuring a panel of clinical, public health, and community experts for a discussion of the latest guidance, any anticipated rise in COVID-19 infections, and how linking antiviral use to overall outbreak response plans can strengthen community preparedness. Participants gained practical insights to support testing-to-treatment pathways, align provider and pharmacy coordination, and promote access to care this respiratory season.
