RSV Season Begins in October.

For otherwise healthy children, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) usually amounts to little more than a cold. However, for preemies and other at-risk infants such as multiple births, the health consequences can be much more serious. To avoid RSV:

1. Have family members and caregivers wash their hands with warm water and soap before touching the babies
2. Avoid being around the babies if you have a cold or fever
3. Avoid exposing the babies to other children with cold symptoms
4. Keep the babies away from crowded places
5. Never smoke around the babies
6. Talk to your babies’ primary care physician about RSV risks, and if your children are at risk, about medications available to prevent RSV.
