Influenza
Each year, the flu impacts people around the world. It’s an infectious disease that can be caught and spread by anyone.1 The flu is often more serious than many think – leading to thousands of flu-related complications, hospitalizations, and deaths each year.1
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
RSV is highly contagious with 2 out of 3 babies contracting it by age 1. While hospitalization due to RSV is rare, severe RSV can be unpredictable and any infant, even if born full term and healthy, can be hospitalized in their first year.2, 3, 4
