A set of two graphics. The first shows an older woman and older man smiling as the man makes a peace sign with his hands with text that reads: “RSV can make you sick at any age. But it’s riskier if you’re 65 or older.” The second shows an older man talking to a doctor with text that reads: “It’s a common virus, but in older adults, RSV can lead to pneumonia or serious illness. Ask your doctor if the RSV vaccine is right for you.”
