Nurses know how to protect the public’s health: We need a multilayered approach to infection control.

There’s no evidence we have “immunity debt.” So what’s to blame? Abandonment of public health measures that have helped protect us from Covid & other respiratory illnesses.
In fact, Covid infections & long Covid are likely contributing to the significant impact of RSV.

You don’t have to repeatedly expose yourself to viruses to keep your immune system strong.

Many children have been exposed to RSV throughout the pandemic. Yes, even with masking & stay-at-home orders.
In fact, positivity rates were higher in 2021 than they are now. But RSV infections only provide partial immunity, which means people can be infected again.
