In this episode of Diabetes Day by Day, Drs. Neil Skolnik and John Russell discuss influenza (flu), COVID-19, RSV, and pneumococcal (pneumonia) vaccines, including why vaccination matters, current recommendations, vaccine options, and common misinformation. Tune in to learn more about the latest vaccine guidance and get helpful information to make informed decisions about your health and vaccinations. As always, talk with your healthcare team about which vaccines are right for you.
