Program Overview
Program Description
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) often presents with mild symptoms in healthy individuals. However, in older adults or infants RSV infection can have serious complications. Adding to the burden, people can become infected with RSV multiple times throughout their lifetime. Research on RSV vaccines is robust, with one candidate recently receiving Breakthrough Therapy Designation. With such rapid and novel developments, it is important for healthcare providers to stay current on the evolving research and management strategies. In this interactive video lecture, an infectious disease specialist details the impact of RSV on different patient populations, reviews currently available and emerging options, and provides valuable information to share with your patients
