 RSV, a common respiratory virus, spreads via droplets from coughs/sneezes. Most children have mild illness, but young children, especially those under two, premature infants, and those with cardiopulmonary disease, are more susceptible. Adults 65+ and immunocompromised individuals are also at higher risk. 25-40% of first-infected children get bronchiolitis or pneumonia, but only 2% require hospitalization. Symptoms appear 4-6 days post-infection, including runny nose, decreased appetite, sneezing, fever, and wheezing. Infants may show irritability, decreased activity, or breathing difficulties. Black and African American women have a higher risk of premature births due to racism-related stress, increasing RSV risk for their infants. Prevention is crucial. Take safety measures: stay home when sick, avoid close contact, wash hands frequently, disinfect surfaces, and consider masks in crowds. Stay updated on flu and COVID vaccinations. For concerns about your child's care, contact your healthcare provider or urgent care. For accessibility needs, contact OHA at 1-971-673-2411, 711 TTY, or COVID19.LanguageAccess@dhsoha.state.or.us.
