RSV Shot Shortage Continues Despite High Demands Due to Increasing Cases and Hospitalizations

The RSV shot shortage continues despite high demands due to increasing RSV cases and hospitalizations of infants and young children during the RSV season as coming supplies of vaccine shots were reportedly not enough to address the RSV shot shortage.
