RSV Prevention: Protecting Adults 50+ from Severe Illness

RSV Awareness Month

It’s RSV Awareness Month. This month is a reminder that RSV is a common respiratory virus that can cause severe illness in older adults. Vaccination can help protect those at higher risk. 

RSV can lead to serious complications, particularly for older adults and individuals with certain underlying health conditions. Understanding personal risk factors and discussing prevention options with a healthcare professional can help adults make informed decisions about their respiratory health. Raising awareness about RSV is an important step toward helping patients stay informed and protected throughout respiratory virus season.
