CDC: RSV increase in Southeast could signal beginning of U.S. season

CDC encourages clinicians to prepare to implement prevention options, including the new long-acting monoclonal antibody to protect infants and some young children at higher risk for severe disease and two new vaccines to protect older adults from severe disease.
