Listen now how the RSV can save Grandma and others over the age of 60!
We now know RSV is prevalent and deadly in people over the age of 60. Why?
Because we’re testing nationally, and finding RSV is deadly not only in babies and young children but also in those over 60, especially with underlying conditions.
Robert H. Hopkins Jr, MD, Medical Director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, explains the new CDC recommendations for which adults should get the new RSV vaccine.
It takes only one visit as of today. Side effects are minimal. The vaccine is proven safe.
In addition, Dr. Hopkins explains the importance of health equity – assuring that vaccines are available for everyone, as cheaply as possible, no matter where they live – urban or rural – their economic status, their gender, race or ethnicity.
