Scotland’s new vaccination is protecting babies from serious RSV infections.

We’ve published exciting new results showing the tremendous impact of the maternal RSV vaccine.

💙 Babies under 3 months, whose mums were vaccinated during pregnancy, were around 80% less likely to be admitted to hospital with RSV compared to those whose mums hadn’t been vaccinated.

💙 Since the RSV vaccination programme launched in August 2024, around half of eligible pregnant women have already taken it up.

💙 RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is very common and usually mild — but for very young infants it can cause serious illness, bronchiolitis, or pneumonia.

💙 The new vaccine, offered from 28 weeks of pregnancy, helps mothers pass protective antibodies to their baby before birth. This shields newborns during their most vulnerable first 6 months of life.

👉 If you’re pregnant, speak to your midwife about the RSV vaccine and how it can help protect your baby.

What counts as binge drinking? It might surprise you!

When you hear the word binge drinking you often imagine someone drinking an excessive amount of alcohol, many are surprised to find out what a binge actually looks like.

In numbers, its exceeding eight units of alcohol for men and six units for women on a single occasion.

Eight units = 🍺🍺🍺🍺
(around four pints of average strength beer)

Six units = 🥂🥂
(roughly four standard size glasses of 12% prosecco)

Frequent ‘binge drinking’, which is not uncommon during the summer months, means we are often drinking over the Chief Medical Officers’ low risk drinking guidelines of no more than 14 units a week spread evenly over 3 or more days.

Surprised? Send this to a friend who you think should know the real definition of binge drinking.📨
