RSV is a common respiratory virus that can cause serious illness in babies – in fact, it’s the number one reason why children under 5 are hospitalised in Australia.
Good news! RSV immunisations to protect infants and pregnant women are now rolling out across the country. Speak to your antenatal healthcare provider or GP to find out more about how you can protect yourself and your baby.

Remember, simple steps like avoiding sick people, washing your hands often, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help protect you and your baby from RSV and other infections.
