Dr. David Herman shares recent developments being made to protect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common cause of lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children. Currently, there is no specific treatment for RSV though antiviral medications and vaccines are currently being investigated.
“If you are concerned about your risk for complications from RSV or how to prevent RSV in your infant or toddler, talk with your doctor. Vaccines and other measures can offer protection to those most vulnerable when RSV season starts this fall.” – Dr. David Herman
