Every
year when October hits starts a season that gives us fits
From then ‘til April it’s the time for treating RSV
Ninety thousand babies a year in the hospital will appear
And two percent we fear will die because of RSV
So now this is the time that we must all
be up to speed
So that we can recognize the symptoms that we must heed
It starts out like a cold or flu you might
see a nose full of goo
Fever and earache too and you should think of RSV
As it progresses you might see wheezing rales or SOB
Any two of these three and you should test for RSV
And so now that we know the symptoms now
are in your head
It’s time to learn what to do so this virus doesn’t spread
In to crowds babies shouldn’t go to sick
people and smokes say no
Washing hands like a pro can stop the spread of RSV
In our duties we’d be remiss if we don’t mention Synagis
It is a drug that is a new vaccine for RSV
Five shots one every month is all it takes
to help protect
Little kids from getting sick so tell us who could object
‘Til then we’ll give supportive care IVs
nebs and high O2 air
And hope for the time there will no longer
Be RSV |
