Breath of Fresh Air: Essential Reminders for Providers During Respiratory Viral Illness Season
Date: October 30, 2024
Attention: All Providers
Background information: The respiratory viral illness season has begun, and infections like influenza (flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and COVID-19 are circulating in our communities.
This communication aims to equip you with comprehensive and up-to-date provider resources to support your practices during this critical time.
At the Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) Provider Advisory Group Meeting in September 2024, Audrey Voss, Clinical Practice Consultant, presented important educational material regarding Respiratory Viral Illness Season: What You Need to Know to Educate and Protect Your Patients.

Key Takeaways
Vaccination is Vital As appropriate, please encourage your patients to best protect themselves against respiratory viral illnesses by receiving vaccinations for influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and COVID-19 infections. Information about the flu season and vaccination can be found in the 2024-2025 Flu Season: Encourage Members to Protect Themselves Provider Alert
Reiterate to patients that antibiotic medication does not effectively treat viral illnesses. Reassure patients about their plan of care for respiratory viral illnesses.
Right Care, Right Place, and Right Time Educate patients on when and where to seek medical care. Help them recognize true emergencies that require immediate attention versus non-emergency situations.
