Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection (RSV)
RSV is a prevalent respiratory virus that often manifests with cold-like symptoms. While many recover within a week or two, it's important to note that RSV can pose serious health risks, especially for infants and older adults, who are more susceptible to severe RSV and may require hospitalization.
Fortunately, vaccines provide a crucial shield against severe RSV for older adults. Additionally, there are monoclonal antibody products available to safeguard infants and young children from the potentially severe consequences of RSV.
