These are some of the most recommended N95 and KN95 face masks you can buy today.

As the threat of a "tripledemic" continues to rise, more people are choosing to mask up to help prevent COVID, RSV and the flu.

In the U.S., 43% of all COVID cases are now made up of XBB.1.5. — an Omicron subvariant that is quickly gaining ground in the Northeast and Southeast regions, according to the CDC.

Compounding the matter is RSV, a respiratory illness that is especially dangerous for young children. While the virus has peaked, still as many as 13 out of every 100,000 children under the age of 5 were hospitalized in the last week of 2022, CNN reported.

The unpredictable flu season is also providing another reason for people to wear face masks.

To help protect yourself from this triple threat, you may be considering wearing a mask. However, the right type of face mask is important in preventing the spread of COVID, RSV and the flu.

N95 and KN95 face masks can help prevent these viruses, but finding one that is protective and fits well can be overwhelming based on number available today.

Sites such as N95 Medical Supplies, Vida, Brave New Look and WellBefore specialize in N95 and KN95 face masks. To help narrow down your decision, this roundup has a list of recommended N95 and KN95 face masks you can buy today.
