RSV Vaccination Program Linked to Halved ICU Admissions for Babies in England

Figures from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for 2025-26 indicate a more than 50% reduction in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-related admissions of newborn infants to intensive care units (ICUs) in England. This significant public health outcome follows the implementation of a national maternal RSV vaccination program, which began in September 2024.
