RSV Hospitalizations Opens in new windowHospitalizations and outbreaks for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are on the rise in the Metro-area. RSV causes illness in people of all ages, but infants, young children, and older adults are at greater risk of severe illness from RSV. Currently, 95% of hospitalizations are among children, and hospital reports indicate that the increase in RSV cases is putting a significant strain on the pediatric hospital system.   

Call a doctor if your child is experiencing early symptoms of a respiratory illness. Your provider can help you determine the best ways to manage symptoms and when it is important to be seen in the clinic, urgent care, or emergency department. If it is an emergency, call 9-1-1.

Learn more about RSV and what steps you can take to protect your family and hospital capacity.
