RSV: as hospitals struggle, a mother shares her story

Guest: Megan Ogilvie, health reporter, and Weronika Drab, mother

While a fraction of babies with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are hospitalized each year in Canada, that’s still about 12,000 infants and this year’s burst of infections have hit an already strained hospital system harder and earlier than usual. Joining “This Matters” to discuss are health reporter Megan Ogilvie to talk about what health care professionals are seeing on the front lines and Weronika Drab, who shares the terrifying medical journey when her seven-week-old baby was struck with the virus.
