Notes from the Field: The National Wastewater Surveillance System's Centers of Excellence Contributions to Public Health Action During the Respiratory Virus Season - Four U.S. Jurisdictions, 2022-23.
Diana Valencia et al. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2023 11 (48) 1309-1312 (Posted: Dec 01, 2023 7AM)

From the article: "NWSS Centers of Excellence have reported correlation between WWS data and clinical surveillance with WWS allowing localized, timely coverage, and in some situations, valuable lead time notification. In Wisconsin, WWS detected increases in influenza and RSV weeks before increases in related emergency department visits were observed. NWSS data, together with clinical surveillance data, have guided jurisdictional partner decisions regarding allocation of resources, deployment of vaccination clinics, updating clinical guidance, and sending respiratory disease notifications and alerts when trends exceed baseline thresholds. During the 2022–23 respiratory disease season, NWSS Centers of Excellence translated WWS data into real-time public health action for multiple respiratory pathogens, highlighting the contribution of WWS in monitoring disease circulation and helping guide public health response.

Will a new wave of RSV vaccines stop the dangerous virus?
Liam Drew et al. Nature 2023 1 (7946) 20 (Posted: Feb 01, 2023 6AM)

Moderna’s mRNA-based vaccine stimulates the production of a stabilized version of this protein, whereas the Pfizer and GSK vaccines inject synthetic versions of it directly. In trials, their efficacies have been remarkably similar, although Bont expects differences to emerge in their initial protection they offer and the durability of immunity after they are rolled out on a larger scale.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
Brand (Posted: Jan 11, 2014 11AM)

Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is a respiratory virus that infects the lungs and breathing passages. Healthy people typically experience mild, cold-like symptoms and recover in a week or two. However, RSV can be serious, particularly for infants and the elderly. RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia in children younger than 1 year of age in the United States.
