American Lung Association launches new campaign to boost RSV vaccine rates

The American Lung Association is launching a new campaign aimed at boosting RSV vaccine rates.

Health experts say nearly 80,000 children up to five years old are hospitalized each year with RSV.


The antibody shot is intended to help protect them from severe symptoms and hospitalization.


In babies under six months of age, the symptoms to look out for include irritability, decreased activity, eating and drinking less, and pauses in breathing for more than 10 seconds.
