Living life on your terms starts with understanding the health risks that could get in the way.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is often associated with infants and young children, but it can also cause serious illness in adults, particularly older adults and those living with certain chronic conditions.

For people managing asthma, COPD, or cardiovascular disease, an RSV infection can lead to complications such as pneumonia, hospitalization, or worsening symptoms of an existing condition.

And the impact doesn’t always end when the infection does. Recovering from a respiratory illness while managing a chronic condition can bring additional challenges, from disrupted daily routines to difficulties managing existing symptoms.

💜 This Global RSV Awareness Week, we’re supporting the #MeNotRSV campaign to remind our community that protecting your health is also about protecting your independence, your well-being, and your ability to keep doing the things that matter to you.

Understanding your personal risk is an important first step.

Talk to your healthcare professional about RSV, ways to reduce your risk, and whether RSV vaccination is recommended for you.
