The arrival of fall means so-called “sick season” is right around the corner. It’s a time when respiratory viruses like flu, COVID and RSV tend to peak. So, what can you expect this year?

Today we’re talking with epidemiologist Dr. Katelyn Jetelina. You may know her from social media or her popular Substack newsletter, “Your Local Epidemiologist.” She also co-founded the Health Trust Initiative and is a senior scientific advisor to the CDC. 

Today, she’s sharing insights about the type of flu season to expect, what to know about this year’s vaccines (and when to get them), and even new guidelines for parents.
