👶💙 A LITTLE PROTECTION CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
RSV can be especially dangerous for babies. It may cause bronchiolitis or pneumonia and can lead to hospitalization.
The good news? There are ways to help protect infants from severe RSV illness.

🤰 EXPECTING A BABY?
The CDC recommends an RSV vaccine for eligible pregnant people at 32–36 weeks of pregnancy, during the recommended seasonal window of September through January in most of the United States. The vaccine helps pass protective antibodies to the baby before birth.

🍼 WHAT ABOUT BABIES?
An infant RSV antibody product may be recommended for babies entering their first RSV season if their birth parent wasn’t vaccinated during pregnancy, their vaccination status is unknown, or other eligibility criteria apply. Some higher-risk young children may also qualify for protection during a second RSV season.
Most babies need either maternal RSV vaccination or infant RSV antibody protection—not both. Your prenatal care provider or your baby’s healthcare provider can help determine the best option.

📅 WHEN?
In most of the continental United States, infant RSV immunization is generally given during the RSV season, typically October through March. Timing depends on the baby’s age, birth date, and vaccination history.

📍 WHERE CAN YOU START?
Talk with your obstetrician, midwife, pediatrician, or family healthcare provider about RSV protection for your baby.

🧼 YOUR HANDS MAY LOOK CLEAN… BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GERMS?

Handwashing is one of the simplest ways to help prevent the spread of illness.

TIP OF THE WEEK: Remember to wash with soap and clean running water:
🍽️ Before eating or preparing food
🚻 After using the bathroom
🤧 After coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose
🐾 After handling pets or their food

Scrub for at least **20 seconds** — about the time it takes to hum “Happy Birthday” twice! 🎶

Clean hands help keep our community healthier. 💙

👏A big THANK YOU to Lynne Emerson for sharing her knowledge and personal experience during an informative talk for Burlington Volunteer Reserve Corps (BVRC) volunteers and community residents about the important role of service dogs! 👏
Lynne is a service dog handler living with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). After her career in the surgical device industry came to an unexpected end, she dedicated herself to helping and advocating for other individuals with disabilities who partner with service dogs. 💙

Lynne shared firsthand insights into how service dogs can:
💙 Support people with disabilities in their daily lives
🐾 Promote independence and greater accessibility
🤝 Help their handlers navigate everyday activities
📚 Provide important assistance while their handlers exercise their access rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
She also discussed service dog training and helped attendees better understand the rights and responsibilities surrounding service animal access.

🌟 WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Building an inclusive community starts with understanding. Learning about service dogs helps us recognize the vital work these incredible animals do and the difference they make in the lives of their handlers.

💙 The Burlington Board of Health and BVRC extend our sincere thanks to Lynne for sharing her experience, raising awareness, and helping our community become more informed and inclusive!

🐾 Have you ever met a service dog team? Share a kind word of appreciation for the important work they do!
