You know about RSV.
Now it's time to tell others.
Are you ready to spread the word about respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)? Thank you! Because so many parents have never even heard of the virus. And that's a problem.
Although most cases are mild, with cold-like symptoms, RSV disease can lead to serious lung infections like bronchiolitis and pneumonia.1,2 Nearly 2 out of 3 babies will be infected with RSV before they're a year old.3,4 And for babies up to that age, RSV is a leading cause of hospitalisation.4
So, the more parents who know about RSV, the better.
