In this important discussion, Dr. Chuck Vega, Sarah McQueen, and Dr. Pam Rockwell focus on the populations most at risk for severe RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) illness, particularly older adults. The panel explores how chronic conditions like COPD, asthma, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease increase the vulnerability of these individuals. They also discuss the unique challenges faced by residents in long-term care facilities and those living in poverty, highlighting the critical need for targeted education and vaccination efforts. The conversation underscores the importance of partnerships between primary care providers, specialists, and pharmacies to improve vaccination rates and protect these high-risk populations from the severe consequences of RSV.
