Increasing cases of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Australia may foreshadow trends in the UK, prompting NHS England to recommend vaccinations for expectant mothers and individuals over 75. RSV is known to be a leading cause of infant deaths worldwide, causing respiratory issues that can lead to hospitalizations. Last winter, thousands of hospital bed days were consumed by children suffering from RSV in England. Vaccinating pregnant women may help protect newborns from serious illnesses associated with RSV postpartum.
Expectant mothers and seniors over 75 are urged to get vaccinated against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) due to rising cases in Australia, impacting future UK trends.
RSV, a common cause of coughs, poses serious risks, especially for infants and older adults, leading to significant hospital admissions in England.
