RSV seasonality was less distinct in Caribbean; RSV started in September and peaked in October–November. Central Americas’ RSV season lagged behind influenza, whereas in the Andes, it peaked earlier.

In Stages 1–3, ten focus groups and 13 individual interviews were conducted to obtain feedback on cultural adaptations and digital components.
