As doctors worry seniors will be the next wave of patients hospitalized with RSV, Health Canada is reviewing a potential vaccine to protect the vulnerable group.
Pediatric hospitals have been treating large numbers of young patients for RSV in recent weeks. The virus has been circulating at high rates and that puts seniors at risk since their immune systems weaken with age.
Health officials say Canadians can help stop the spread of RSV to seniors by wearing masks and not visiting older loved ones while feeling unwell.
