People have many theories about why we are seeing so much RSV right now, including\u00a0COVID vaccines<\/a>,\u00a0marketing campaigns<\/a>\u00a0to sell a new vaccine, and immunity debt. So why is RSV suddenly in the news?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

So while the Twitter public might feel like RSV is a brand new virus, it\u2019s been a long-standing concern, pre-dating COVID vaccines and the pandemic itself.<\/p>\n

RSV, or Respiratory Syncytial Virus, has long been a concern of public health and providers, as we can see in this 2018 CDC MMWR, where the seasonality of RSV was pinned down in order to help providers look for it and administer\u00a0immunoprophylaxis<\/a>, which has been available in various forms since 1995.<\/p>\n

RSV is in the news now<\/a>\u00a0because the public health measures we took during the pandemic also prevented some RSV spread. And now a bunch of kids and older adults are getting it, and it\u2019s a whopper.<\/p>\n

Of note, the hunt for an RSV vaccine began in the 1960s, and only now might we finally have one on the horizon.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
