Official website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means it's official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    RSV Awareness Month (October)

    October is Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Awareness Month. Every year, RSV impacts thousands of children and older adults in Pennsylvania. During the 2024-2025 season, there were almost 9,000 adult hospital admissions for RSV and almost 3,500 pediatric admissions.

    There are immunizations and vaccines to protect older adults, pregnant people (to protect newborns), and high-risk infants.  Everyone should be extra careful to keep their hands clean and to stay home if sick.  Talk to your doctor or pediatrician today about preventing RSV.
