When Danielle Campoamor’s son Samuel was only about four weeks old in late 2018, he contracted respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the most frequent cause of hospitalizations among infants in the United States, and landed in the neonatal intensive care unit at New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital.
Four years later, during what public health officials called a “tripledemic” of RSV, Covid and the flu, Samuel was again placed in an intensive care unit.
