ABSTRACT
Infant RSV bronchiolitis in the first six months of life was associated with increased odds of pneumonia (aOR 1.36), otitis media (aOR 1.32), and antibiotic prescription fills (aOR 1.24) in the second six months of life. These data suggest potential value of future RSV vaccination programs on subsequent respiratory health.
