We are seeing surges in healthcare demand, particularly for children with respiratory illnesses, this winter season, largely attributed to RSV.

Most common in infant and young children, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a virus that infects the lungs and airways. Although it is usually a mild disease that goes away on its own, it can lead to serious infections.

More than 30% of Canadian youth have tried **e products in the last year. Va**ng is not harmless. High ni****ne levels can lead to a life of ni****ne addiction, increased exposure harmful chemicals, and altered brain development (which can impact memory and concentration). Talk to your teen about va**ng.
