RSV INFORMATION: PLEASE READ

As many of you know, we're heading into the next RSV season.  There are usually a lot of questions on the board regarding RSV and Synagis (which is awesome!), but a lot tend to be repeats.  I thought it would be good to list some links to the CDC and other sites with basic information that I and many other moms have/will use frequently and are very helpful.

This is not intended to stop all questions related to RSV.  By all means, if you still have a question or are confused about some of the info in the links, post it and ask!  We'll gladly help!

Synagis help for those with high deductible insurance or high copays for the injections

Thanks for this. I can't believe that Florida has the longest RSV season in the country. Blah - it's going to be a long fall/winter.
