“I’ve spent much of my life putting conversations about health where they belong – in center court. I believe it’s so important for us to learn about our risk for RSV infection and how to help prevent it, so we can help Sideline RSV”- Earvin “Magic” Johnson, compensated spokesperson for Sideline RSV by GSK

ABOUT SIDELINE RSV
Sideline RSV is a health education campaign by GSK aimed at helping older adults and their loved ones know the risks of RSV. RSV is a common, contagious virus that typically causes mild symptoms. Older adults, adults with chronic heart or lung disease, and adults with weakened immune systems have an increased risk of severe RSV infection. Each year approximately 177,000 adults 65 and older are hospitalized in the US due to RSV and an estimated 14,000 of those cases result in death. For adults 60 and older, some data suggest that there is an increased risk for severe RSV infection that can lead to hospitalization.
COPD or Asthma
Chronic heart failure
In addition to older adults, adults with certain underlying conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and chronic heart failure (CHF) are at an increased risk for severe RSV infection. RSV infection can exacerbate symptoms of certain underlying conditions and can even cause hospitalization.
