Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common seasonal respiratory virus that can cause severe respiratory infection in infants, young children, and older adults. Recently, the FDA approved RSV vaccines and monoclonal antibody products to help protect individuals at risk of developing severe infection. Since these approvals, there has been an increase in questions about RSV and immunizations from patients and healthcare professionals. This project aimed to create educational materials about RSV and immunization guidelines, safety, and efficacy for patients and healthcare staff. The goal of these educational materials was to increase awareness of RSV, increase discussions between healthcare providers and patients about RSV and immunizations, and to increase RSV immunization rates among at risk populations.
