Mandy Moore’s Sons Diagnosed with Life-Threatening RSV

Mandy Moore shared the distressing experience of having both her sons, August and Oscar, diagnosed with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in 2023, which left her feeling helpless despite not requiring hospitalization. RSV, a common virus that can cause severe respiratory infections in young children, prompted Moore and her husband to seek protection for their newborn daughter, Louise, born in September 2024. After consulting their pediatrician, they opted to immunize Lou with Beyfortus, a monoclonal antibody medication designed to prevent RSV in infants and young children. Moore expressed relief and reassurance following Lou's immunization, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and extra protection regardless of the birth timing relative to RSV season. Additionally, Moore has joined other high-profile mothers in raising awareness about RSV and the critical need for parental support in navigating childhood health challenges. She highlighted the value of community among mothers for sharing experiences and supporting new and expecting parents.
