Across the nation, health care providers are seeing more little ones contract respiratory syncytial virus, most commonly known as RSV. The virus typically peaks in winter months, but for the last two years, we have seen summer surges. RSV is extremely transmissible and can be dangerous for infants or young children. Most children will get RSV by the time they are two years old.
