Cold, flu and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are common respiratory infections experienced by young children, which affect daily family activities, such as sleep disturbance and missed days from school and work. The questionnaire is designed for caregivers who have experience caring for a child suffering from these respiratory viral infections, including cold, flu and RSV, to explore the problems and impacts of the diseases on family life. This short survey should only take 5 minutes of your time.

Misti is on a mission to protect all from preventable infections irrespective of birthplace globally, and your experience will help advance a solution to impact the most vulnerable people affected positively.
