Recommendations for the Prevention of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease in Infants and Children: Technical Report
Abstract:
This technical report accompanies the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) policy statement (https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.2026-079047) and recommendations for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunization during the 2026-2027 RSV season. The rationale is presented for recommending immunization of all infants younger than 8 months born during or entering their first RSV season, unless the infant has documented protection from vaccination of the pregnant parent; and infants and children 8 through 19 months of age who are at high risk of severe RSV disease and entering their second RSV season. The report synthesizes current evidence on RSV epidemiology, disease burden, immunization effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness in pediatric populations; including evidence supporting expansion of high-risk groups for second season administration. Additionally, the report provides an overview of available RSV immunization products, formulations, and coadministration with other immunizations.

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.
Common Respiratory Disorders
Upper respiratory disorders impact the airways above the vocal cords, encompassing areas like the nose, sinuses, and throat. Various conditions fall under this category, including the common cold and allergic rhinitis. These disorders can stem from several causes,...
