We spoke to Floyd County Health Director Martha Ellis about the dangers of RSV. RSV is the respiratory symptom virus. It's just basically a code-like illness that occurs and mostly in these fall, getting ready for these fall months. So the high-risk groups for RSV would be premature infants, especially those six months in younger children younger than two years old with chronic lung diseases. Anything that a child, an infant or a small child would have that's immunocompromised and of course are older adults. In July, the FDA approved the vaccine before us for the prevention of RSV in neonates and infants and back in May, the FDA approved the first-ever vaccine against RSV for older adults called a rexie. Two to three percent of infants with RSV are hospitalized. The vaccine is preventable. It's prevention-based. I will tell you that my own granddaughter was put in the hospital with RSV and it was quite scary. She was retracting, so we had to rush her to the hospital. So RSV vaccine can help with those severe symptoms and we highly encourage it. Anyone with questions about treatments and vaccines should contact their local health department.
