Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a respiratory virus causing cold-like symptoms, such as cough, fever, and congestion. In Alabama, HMPV cases have been on the rise, especially during the winter and early spring. It poses a higher risk to young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. Join us at the ARC IPC as we are joined by Dr. Rachel Lee, MD, MSPH, Chief Healthcare Epidemiologist at UAB to learn more about how to protect you and your family this winter and spring!
