RSV leads to severe lung infections such as pneumonia and infant bronchiolitis
A new vaccine is set to be available to people in Cheshire and Merseyside. For the first time, the NHS will be vaccinating people against Respiratory Syncytial Virus , a common cause of coughs and colds that can lead to severe lung infections like pneumonia and infant bronchiolitis. According to the NHS , these lung infections are highly dangerous to older people and young children, and RSV is a leading cause of infant mortality around the world.
This new vaccination will provide vital protection to babies, women and older adults at greatest risk. I would urge those eligible to take up the offer as soon as possible when offered by the NHS. “If you are 28 weeks pregnant or over, please speak to your midwife or maternity provider about getting the vaccine. The RSV vaccine is one of four maternal vaccines offered to pregnant women and will provide your baby with the greatest protection against the virus.
