What is RSV?
An RSV infection is most severe in young babies and older adults and can sometimes lead to serious infections like pneumonia or bronchitis.
Each year in Ontario during the RSV season (October-April, peaking in December) a significant number of infants and children under 2 are hospitalized, with many cases requiring intensive care stays.
