Rsv Infection

Considering the current surge of COVID-19 cases, primary care providers should counsel patients to prepare for this winter’s inevitable spike, according to an expert.

There are several methods and tools clinicians can utilize to improve vaccine confidence and boost immunization rates as the respiratory virus season approaches, according to an expert panel.

RSV infections contribute to the burden and severity of COVID-19, increasing susceptibility and chance for hospitalizations, according to a study published in the European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

A recent survey showed that only about one-quarter of older adults have received respiratory syncytial virus vaccinations.

Older adults from underrepresented populations and those with lower incomes were more likely to have risk factors for severe respiratory syncytial virus disease, a study showed.

More than half of people expecting a baby said in a survey that they were “very likely” to get vaccinated against respiratory syncytial virus during pregnancy, researchers reported.

Young children with respiratory syncytial virus were hospitalized at a higher rate in the years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic than in the six seasons before it, according to a study in JAMA Pediatrics.
