How does RSV affect your patients?

Hear about this unknown 'annual healthcare disaster' from Dr Openshaw, Dr Englund, Dr Walsh and Dr Gonik.1 Understand how RSV can infect anyone of any age, the prevalence of RSV (using influenza as a comparator) and the serious consequences for certain populations including young infants and older adults.2,3,4

Everyone is susceptible to an RSV infection, but who is most at risk?2

Uncover who is most at risk of serious outcomes from an RSV infection. 

The RSV Experts share about the fleeting natural immunity to RSV and the commonality of reinfection, with a focus on why infants and older adults are more susceptible to serious outcomes of an RSV infection.4

They expand on differing immune responses and physical characteristics in these populations to explain this increased susceptibility.3,4
