Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) poses significant risks for infants and the elderly, potentially leading to severe pneumonia. The Romanian Society of Pneumology emphasizes the importance of vaccination and preventive measures as RSV circulation increases during the respiratory infection season. Annually, Romania sees over 5,500 hospitalizations among the elderly and more than 5,100 among infants under six months due to RSV. Vaccination is recommended for vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with chronic conditions, to prevent severe complications. Parents are advised to monitor infants for respiratory symptoms and seek medical help if severe signs occur.
