Show Notes

In recognition of RSV Awareness Month, Retirement.Radio’s Matt McClure sits down with Dr. Leonard Friedland, Vice President and Director of Scientific Affairs and Public Health for GSK North America, and Carole, a National Senior Games athlete, to discuss how RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) affects older adults and why prevention matters.
 
Dr. Friedland explains that RSV is far more than a seasonal nuisance — it leads to an estimated 177,000 hospitalizations and 14,000 deaths each year among adults aged 65 and older in the U.S. Carole shares her personal story of contracting RSV despite her active lifestyle, detailing how the illness sidelined her and reshaped her approach to health and wellness.
 
Together, they highlight the importance of awareness, vaccination, and simple preventive steps to help older adults stay healthy through the respiratory virus season. Learn more and access helpful resources at SidelineRSV.com.
