“Three years after the first maternal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines began being rolled out, mounting real-world evidence shows the difference they’re making to babies’ health.

Studies from some of the first countries to introduce maternal RSV vaccination suggest that babies whose mothers were vaccinated have a 70–80% lower risk of being hospitalised with RSV than those whose mothers weren’t.

Meanwhile, national studies are recording substantial falls in hospital admissions since vaccination programmes began.”
