What is RSV? The main cause of hospitalization for children

Health experts say the UK must obtain a potential potential virus after the record of the number of cases in Australia.

NHS officials said Australia’s winter often predicts how viruses spread in the UK.

In Australia, cases of respiratory sinky virus (RSV) have increased in recent months, and officials have said it has been increasing in the UK since the beginning of 2025.

NHS British has called on pregnant women to receive the vaccine that protects the RSV to protect newborn babies.

The virus is the main cause of death among infants and the main cause of hospitalization for children.

Kate Bernurat, a senior midwifery manager for NHS, said that while for most adults, “RSV only causes mild and cold symptoms, for adults and young children, it can lead to serious breathing problems that can be completed in hospitalization.”

“Vaccinating during pregnancy is the best way to protect your baby from the moment of birth, and now it’s time for mothers to act, to ensure that their infants are protected before their first few months of winter this year, when they tend to cause more problems.”

Pregnant women can receive this pocket for 28 weeks after delivery or general practitioner surgery.

The 75-79-year-old adults are also eligible for Jab, and the NHS British will start inviting people to advance in the next few weeks.

RSV is one of the most common causes of cough and colds, but some people have a serious risk of virus, including infants and adults over the age of 75.

In infants, RSV is one of the most common causes of chest infection called bronchiolitis.

Last week, the British Health Security Agency released data showing the effectiveness of the vaccine. The report said that JAB for pregnant women could prevent 72 percent hospitalized for their infants.

Oxa said the vaccine is 82 % effective in preventing hospital hospitalization for RSV.
