Keke Palmer Partners with Sanofi to Educate Parents on RSV Prevention
Emmy Award-winning actress, singer, and producer Keke Palmer has partnered with Sanofi to raise awareness among parents about Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). This initiative stems from a conversation Palmer had with her son Leo's pediatrician, where she learned about the severity of RSV, particularly its potential to cause serious lung infections and its status as a leading cause of hospitalization in babies under one year old. Initially, Palmer perceived RSV as similar to a common cold, but the medical consultation highlighted the critical need for preventative measures. Her son, Leo, is three years old, and Palmer's personal experience as a mother has driven her to share this information with other parents. The partnership aims to encourage parents to engage in informed discussions with their doctors about RSV prevention, including available options like Beyfortus (nirsevimab-alip).
