RSV may start like a simple cough, but for newborns and young infants, it can become much more serious¹.
With tiny airways and developing immune systems, babies are especially vulnerable in their first months of life².
The good news is that protection can begin even before birth. Through maternal immunisation, expectant mothers can help pass protective antibodies to their babies, offering a blanket of protection from their very first breath³.
Learn the signs, understand how RSV spreads in everyday settings, and speak to your doctor about ways to protect your baby early.
