Mary Kennedy and GSK Ireland have launched a campaign to raise awareness about Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) among adults over 65, as research shows that nearly half of this age group is unaware of the virus and its risks. RSV can cause mild symptoms in adults, but can lead to severe consequences, especially for older adults with underlying health conditions. The campaign encourages people to stay healthy, learn about RSV symptoms, and take preventive measures such as vaccination. Healthcare professionals stress the importance of discussing RSV with a GP, as the virus can have a significant impact on the healthcare system. Visit rsvandme.ie for more information.
