Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is responsible for approximately 26,000 hospitalizations and 1,800 deaths annually in Italy. Despite these significant health impacts, the virus remains largely unrecognized by the general public. The primary demographic groups affected by the virus are the elderly and individuals suffering from chronic medical conditions.
In response to the severity of these figures, a new awareness campaign titled "I silenzi dell'Rsv" (The Silences of RSV) has been launched. The initiative aims to inform the public about the risks associated with the virus and to advocate for a broader utilization of available vaccines to mitigate its spread and clinical consequences.
