Unmasking the Silent Danger: The Impact of RSV on Seniors

Unmasking the Silent Danger: The Impact of RSV on Seniors

Filipino culture places a strong emphasis on filial piety and respect for elders, with families often serving as the primary caregivers . However, this cherished tradition of care is gradually declining, highlighting the need for increased support and protection for our elderly.

To ensure their golden years are not cut short, it is essential to protect them from Respiratory Syncytial Virus or RSV, a contagious disease that poses a higher risk to their age group. RSV closely resembles other symptoms of other respiratory infections like cough, colds, and fever, making it difficult to diagnose without specific testing. Alarmingly, there is no specific treatment for RSV.

In support of overall efforts to promote awareness about this silent threat, GlaxoSmithKline Philippines held a disease awareness discussion.
