RSV is a highly contagious respiratory illness which is linked to the increased risk of ongoing wheezing and asthma, allergies, decreased lung function, and other long-term health issues. It is the number one cause of hospitalisation in Australian children under five years of age (almost 16,000 admissions each year), with one-in-four of these children requiring intensive care. Most hospitalisations for RSV-related bronchiolitis or pneumonia occur in otherwise healthy, full-term newborns.
