As we head into the 2024 RSV season, many parents ask how best to protect their little ones. Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV, can be particularly concerning for young children, and understanding what to expect is crucial. The CDC has projected that this fall and winter, RSV, COVID-19, and flu hospitalizations may be similar to or slightly lower than last year's peak, but staying informed is key. Dr. Jamie Kondis can discuss RSV—what it is, how it impacts infants and young children, and what you can do to keep your family safe.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly will today seek Cabinet approval for a vaccination programme for infants this autumn for Respiratory Syncytial Virus or more commonly known as RSV Speaking to Johnathan this morning was Dr. Brendan O'Shea, Kildare GP & Assistant Adjuvant Professor in Public Health and Primary Care at Trinity College Dublin.

The McCullough Report with Dr. Peter McCullough – As ambient aerosolized RSV virions are present in hospitals, clinics, and homes, the monoclonal antibody may backfire and enable the inhaled virion to gain access to the bronchial epithelial lining and cause worse bronchiolitis than the baby would have with their own developing natural immunity.

RSV is a common respiratory virus that can lead to severe illness in older adults. This vaccine is especially recommended for individuals with weakened immune systems, those on certain medications, those with chronic medical conditions, and those in nursing homes. The vaccine is also suggested for adults aged 60 and older. Medicare Part D plans often cover the cost of the vaccine. Details on clinic locations and hours can be found on the North Georgia Health District website.   STORY 3: Three people charged with trafficking meth in Cherokee County   Three individuals were arrested and charged with trafficking methamphetamine following a traffic stop in Cherokee County. The Cherokee Sheriff's Office conducted the stop, during which they discovered the driver had an active arrest warrant, the front passenger provided false information and had a warrant in Acworth, and the rear passenger had an active warrant in Cobb County. Subsequently, authorities found approximately four ounces of methamphetamine, marijuana, and prescription medication inside the vehicle. The suspects face multiple charges, including trafficking methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, and providing false information to law enforcement. They are currently held without bond at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Etowah and Creekview lead the county with 4-1 records. Etowah's star player, Xavier Mahoney, has been instrumental, amassing 1,427 total yards and 20 touchdowns. Sequoyah, after a shaky start, has won three consecutive games, largely due to their strong defense. Creekview, with quarterback Austin Guest, is on track to return to the playoffs after missing out last year. Woodstock ended a two-year winless streak, and River Ridge is looking to rebound after two losses. Cherokee will face a challenging Wheeler team in its first Region 5AAAAAAA game.   Story 5: CCRP donates to Rescuing Hope   The Cherokee County Republican Party (CCRP) hosted Rescuing Hope, a nonprofit focused on aiding human trafficking victims, and conducted a fundraiser for the organization.

Are older adults aware of the new RSV vaccine? Find out about this and more in today's PV Roundup podcast.

Parts of the US are currently in the midst of a triple-demic, a very scary phrase, so Dr. Sydnee is here to break down the third illness: Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV. It's a virus that's common among everyone, but can be dangerous for some people. Dr. Sydnee and Justin talk about what it is, why it is suddenly prevalent in adults, and what can be done to help prevent the spread (hint: wear a mask).Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/
