Through our studies at the center, we have found that RSV and influenza can be found at all ages, from children under first year of age to the elderly. But the obvious difference is that RSV is found in young children under 5 years of age, followed by the elderly. Contrast with influenza It is found mostly in children over 5 years of age and the elderly, as shown in the picture.
As mentioned above, these two diseases can recur once again. Mostly school-age children The body is healthy. The severity of the disease will not be much but it will spread the disease well. Influenza outbreaks occur in schools, while RSV often occurs in daycares and kindergartens. Because it’s very easy to communicate with each other. It happened this year and next year there is a chance it will happen again.”
