Respiratory Viral Season: Fall 2023 Edition - Dr. Dora Anne Mills

  Dora Anne Mills, MD, MPH The View from Maine Sept 17, 2023 Respiratory Viral Season: Fall 2023 Edition   Below is an overview, recommendations, and common questions related to this year’s respiratory viral season. At the very end are links to references with more information, in order by topic as they appear below.   Last week, the US FDA and US CDC issued approvals and recommendations for the updated fall 2023 COVID-19 vaccine.
