"Older adults, infants and toddlers, and people with chronic medical conditions are most at-risk for complications associated with the illness. SFDPH recommended the 2025-2026 shot for anyone over six months old who has not already received it. Experts usually suggest that people get their shot in the fall, ahead of the coming season's peak. You can find access to a vaccine here, and many local pharmacies accommodate walk-ins."
"SFDPH also suggests the use of high-quality masks especially if you're sick but also beneficial even when you're not. KN95 masks have been proven to lower the risk of spreading respiratory illnesses, and all mask types are especially recommended in crowded indoor spaces. And as usual, the SFDPH urges good hygiene practices such as washing your hands frequently with soap and water, and using alcohol-based hand sanitizers."
