Did you know Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) season generally starts during the fall and peaks in the winter?

RSV is a common and highly contagious virus that can cause serious respiratory infections in babies, especially in their first year of life. While RSV often leads to mild, cold-like symptoms, it can sometimes result in severe lung infections. RSV is particularly dangerous for babies less than 6 months of age.

RSV spreads easily through coughs, sneezes, or contact with contaminated surfaces. But there’s good news! Beyfortus, an RSV antibody injection, is available to help protect your baby from serious RSV-related lung disease.

Who can benefit?
💙 Newborns and babies under 8 months of age born during or entering their first RSV season.
💜 Children up to 24 months of age who are at high risk of severe RSV disease during their second RSV season.

👉 Take action now! Schedule an appointment at your local RUHS Community Health Center at 800-720-9553 or visit RUHealth.org. Let’s work together to keep your family healthy and safe!
