High Velocity Therapy Resources and Tools for RSV
Winter is coming. Winter, as in, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) season. Last year’s RSV season hit the US earlier and harder with a record-breaking mix of strep infections, flu, RSV, and enteroviruses to compete with COVID. According to the CDC, during the 2022 season, early epidemic onsets (April-June) were observed in Florida and some regions (New England, Georgia, Texas), however, RSV leveled off before increasing again in September. Regions more north and west (New York, Colorado, California, and Washington) experienced RSV season peak in October and November.
