With multiple confirmed cases of RSV this past week, it’s more important than ever to stay informed and stay protected. 🛡️👶👵

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) often feels like a common cold, but it can be much more serious for the vulnerable members of our community—especially infants, young children, and older adults.

We’ve put together some quick tips on how to keep your family safe this season.

🔍 SYMPTOMS

In most adults and older kids, RSV brings standard cold symptoms. Keep a close eye out for:

⭐️ A persistent, hacking cough

⭐️ Fever and a runny nose

⭐️ Wheezing or difficulty breathing (especially in little ones)

⭐️ Irritability, lethargy, or poor feeding in infants

🧼 PREVENTING THE SPREAD

⭐️ Wash hands frequently → Good old-fashioned soap and water works wonders.

⭐️Clean high-touch zones → Regularly wipe down phones, door handles, and toys.

⭐️ Stay home if unwell → Protect your workmates, school friends, and vulnerable neighbors.

⭐️ Get vaccinated → Speak to our team about available immunisation options for high-risk individuals.

🏠 MANAGEMENT
Because RSV is a virus, antibiotics won't work against it. For mild cases, management is all about comfort and symptom relief:

⭐️ Rest and hydration → Keep fluids up to prevent dehydration (water, or breastmilk/formula for babies).

⭐️ Symptom relief → Paracetamol and/or ibuprofen can help manage fevers and discomfort.

⭐️ Saline drops → These help clear tiny, congested noses before feeds.

⚠️ WHEN TO SEEK IMMEDIATE CARE
If you or a loved one experience rapid or shallow breathing, severe wheezing, or lips/fingernails turning blue, seek medical attention immediately.

What a fantastic evening at Dark NorFo!

We were honoured to be involved and loved spending the night out in the community, meeting and chatting with locals, seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and sharing what we do.

Events like these don’t happen without the support of some incredible people, and we’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to those who helped make our stall possible.

🍪 Toni Tucker from My Sweet Tucker for the beautiful cookies that looked amazing and tasted even better.

🎁 Our wonderful pharmacy team who spent the week putting together goodie bags and preparing everything behind the scenes before the event. Your hard work and attention to detail helped make the night a success.

❤️ Makayla Bott, Jamila Peers and Amanda James for volunteering their Saturday night to help run the stall and represent our pharmacy throughout the evening.

🚒 Lachlan Fire Brigade for kindly lending us the marquee, which couldn’t have matched the Dark Norfo theme more perfectly!

⭐ And a very special thank you to Adrian James. Adrian not only secured the marquee for us, but also set it up, packed it down, lent us trestle tables and floodlights, and still managed to find time to assist with the Derwent Valley SES demonstration. Your support behind the scenes did not go unnoticed.

Events like Dark NorFo are a wonderful reminder of what makes our community so special, and we’re incredibly thankful to everyone who has supported us, not only at the stall but also throughout our rebrand.

Thank you for helping make it such a memorable evening. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
