RSV

As the flu season progresses, 11 states are reporting a high level of illnesses. Also, the CDC says it is looking into reports of outbreaks of pneumonia in two states but doesn't believe it’s due to anything unusual.

Reports of the seasonal virus are rising nationally, but experts said RSV is not expected to generate the kind of widespread patient traffic seen last fall, when hospitals were overwhelmed with sick, wheezing kids.

It's not uncommon for cases of respiratory illness to rise in the winter months, but health officials are still encouraging vaccination to protect folks during gatherings.

Nirsevimab is in short supply but other preventative measures - including the RSV vaccine for pregnant people - could help keep your baby safe.

Hospitals were overwhelmed last winter by a surge in pediatric cases of RSV. Now a new monoclonal antibody shot could help, but price and supply issues are causing delays in getting it to infants.

Flu, COVID, and respiratory viruses kill thousands of Americans each year, but the latest batch of vaccines could save lives.

Adult doses got shipped first, CDC director Mandy Cohen said. Doses for the under-12 set have begun shipping, and “the supply is filling out.”

The short answer is yes, but a Central Florida expert weighs in on how you should receive the vaccines this season ahead of another possible "tripledemic"

The shot will help shield newborns from RSV in the early months of life, when they're especially vulnerable to severe illness.

The new COVID shots, which have received FDA approval, will be released in time to pair with the yearly flu shot. And the first vaccines to guard against another scary virus, RSV, are rolling out for older adults and pregnant women.
