MENINGITIS
Meningitis is a condition in which a virus or bacteria causes the tissue around the brain and spinal cord get inflamed, which can be very painful and cause seizures. The most common symptoms are fever, neck stiffness, and headache. Meningitis is spread by coughing, sneezing, and kissing. A serious infection can lead to brain damage.
SHINGLES
This is a disease that is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Sometimes, when a person gets chickenpox, the virus will “hide” inside nerves long after the person’s chickenpox sores have healed, and it will reappear later as shingles. Only people who have had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine can get it. Shingles starts out as a painful rash in one part of the body, and it can cause problems such as nerve pain that can last for years. It cannot spread from person to person, but if someone has a shingles infection, they can spread chickenpox to someone who has never had chickenpox before.
HEPATITIS A&B

The hepatitis A virus can be spread by contaminated food or contact with an infected person. There is no specific treatment for hepatitis A, and some people need to be hospitalized. Hepatitis B virus is spread by contact with infected bodily fluids and can eventually cause liver damage, liver cancer, or death.

COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a disease caused by a virus named SARS-CoV-2. It can be very contagious and spreads quickly. COVID-19 most often causes respiratory symptoms that can feel much like a cold, the flu, or pneumonia. COVID-19 may attack your lungs, respiratory system and other parts of your body.
RSV
RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a highly contagious seasonal virus that infects the respiratory tract. It is very common in young children and most will be infected by age two. Although RSV typically causes mild, cold-like symptoms, it can cause serious lung infections, especially in infants, older adults, and those with chronic medical conditions and/or a weakened immune system.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved Arexvy (respiratory syncytial virus vaccine, adjuvanted) for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in individuals 60 years of age and older. Arexvy is the first RSV vaccine for older adults to be approved anywhere in the world, and is expected to be available in the US prior to the 2023/2024 respiratory syncytial virus season.
