Burden of disease - A focus on acute respiratory viruses in older adults

Why should older adults be particularly careful of acute respiratory viruses? What are risk factors for adverse outcomes? Why is RSV typically under-diagnosed in adults compared with flu and what are some of the long-term impacts? Are older adults always more at risk in a pandemic? What do we mean by ageism and what needs to be done to counter it.

Listen to this powerful panel of experts, literally spanning the globe, featuring Stefania Maggi ESWI Board Member, Geriatrician and Epidemiologist based in Italy, Kirsty Short, virologist from the University of Queensland Australia, and Jane Barratt, Secretary General, International Federation on Ageing in Canada, shedding light on these questions and more.
