“As we head into respiratory virus season this fall, it’s important to use these new tools available to help prevent severe RSV illness,” Mandy Cohen, MD, CDC director said in a statement. “I encourage parents of infants to talk to their pediatricians about this new immunization and the importance of preventing severe RSV.”
