Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) causes cold-like symptoms. It can cause severe disease for infants and older adults. In most years, RSV is most common between October through March. RSV can spread at the same time as COVID-19 and flu. It’s important to protect yourself and others by getting vaccines for all three diseases. This is especially true if you are at risk for severe disease.
Possible symptoms include:
-
Fever
-
Cough
-
Runny nose
-
Wheezing
-
In very young infants: increased irritability and difficulty breathing
It can spread when:
-
Someone with the virus sneezes or coughs
-
Someone with the virus is in close contact with others
-
Touching infected surfaces then touching your face without first washing your hands
