Typically, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) sends thousands of children to the hospital over fall and winter, peaking in January and February. But for the second year in a row cases have spiked early and continue to grow. This has led to unprecedented cases of the common respiratory virus across the U.S. On this episode, Cohen Children's Medical Center leaders Joshua Rocker, MD, and Margaret Duffy, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, discuss what they are seeing on the front lines in New York, the impact flu will have leading into the winter months, and how hospitals are responding to the need. They explain what parents need to know about RSV, and what steps they can take to reduce transmission within the home, particularly for those with children under the age of 1, who are at the greatest risk.
