"A Doctor's Plea to Parents: Vital Lessons from a Brother's Loss to RSV"
Dr. Sean Cullen, who lost his brother to RSV as a child, now works as a neonatologist and researcher, emphasizing the importance of awareness and prevention of the virus. He advocates for the use of new vaccines and medications, such as Abrysvo for pregnant women and nirsevimab for infants, to protect against RSV. Cullen also recommends practical measures like avoiding crowded spaces, practicing good hand hygiene, ensuring visitors are vaccinated, and monitoring for symptoms of respiratory illness to prevent RSV infections in children.
