You and your library patrons are probably hearing and reading about an increase in RSV cases. NNLM has put together some free evidence-based resources to help you and your patrons better understand and prevent the spread of RSV. This includes posters and handouts. Many are available in Spanish. Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is a common respiratory virus. It usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. But it can cause serious lung infections, especially in infants, older adults, and people with serious medical problems.
