Both the flu and RSV can spread through direct contact with someone who is sick, as well as by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.

RSV season is the time of year when the RSV virus is most active, and more people get infected. RSV season in the U.S. typically starts in the fall and winter months, usually from September to April. The peak of RSV activity varies, but is often in December or January.

Flu season is the time of year when the flu virus is most active, and more people get infected. Flu season in the U.S. is from October to April, with peak flu activity usually from December to February.

It's that time of year again, and viruses are starting to spread rapidly. Learn to spot the differences between the #flu and #RSV before you get sick.
