County health officials have introduced an online tracking system this week that allows residents to monitor vaccination rates for three major respiratory illnesses throughout the area.
The new interactive dashboard displays immunization data for influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus, commonly known as RSV. Officials designed the platform to provide transparency as seasonal vaccines become available at medical facilities and retail pharmacies.
The timing of the dashboard's release coincides with the arrival of this year's flu vaccines at healthcare locations throughout the county. Health authorities will refresh the data on a weekly basis to keep the public informed about vaccination trends in their community.
Public health leaders are encouraging residents to get vaccinated this fall season as a preventive measure against serious illness from these respiratory diseases.
