Influenza and RSV Outbreaks of healthcare-associated influenza and RSV can occur and affect both patients and personnel. Respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette, standard precautions, and droplet precautions are effective infection prevention methods used to prevent respiratory viral transmission in healthcare facilities. The most effective form of prevention against influenza is to get vaccinated. Hospital in-patients with confirmed or suspected RSV or influenza should be placed in a private room on contact and droplet precautions. When a single patient room is not available, consultation with infection control personnel is recommended to assess the risks associated with other patient placement options.
