The RSV season, normally offered from October through March, now gives parents extra time to protect their little ones. Hospitalization rates for babies under one year remain elevated into late February, making RSV the top reason for their hospital stays nationwide. Health officials recommend monoclonal antibody shots for all kids under eight months and higher-risk children aged eight to nineteen months.
