Transmission of RSV

How does RSV spread and who is most at risk? In this video, we explore the transmission of RSV, highlighting the vulnerable group, such as young children and adults over 60—and share ways to reduce the risk of infection.

From close personal contact and contaminated surfaces to miniscule airborne droplets, RSV can spread in many ways. This video provides insights on how the virus can easily enter your environment and recommends practical tips to protect yourself and those you love.
