Infectious Diseases Vaccines Videos

There are lots of holiday gatherings ahead. If you are 60 and over and haven’t yet been vaccinated for RSV, now is the time.

All 60+ adults are eligible for the RSV vaccine, but the seasonal increase in RSV among young children has begun so it is even more important for those who are around them.

According to the CDC , as of December 2, 2024, RSV activity is elevated and continues to increase in the southern, central, and eastern United States, particularly in young children.

Nerdy Girl Gretchen was recently featured in a video encouraging those 60-years-old and over to get an RSV vaccination. This video is being shown in the waiting rooms of healthcare providers across the United States.
