Children at greatest risk for severe illness from RSV include the following: Premature infants. Infants up to 12 months, especially those 6 months and younger. Children younger than 2 years with chronic lung disease or congenital (present from birth) heart disease.

I would hate to live knowing I put a baby in the hospital by infecting it with RSV.
Oh who cares, really? Grandparents have a right to their freedom. Freedom is more important than their grandchildrens' lives (unless they are still in the womb, then they're more important).
