RSV is a common respiratory virus that can be severe for infants and young children, especially those born prematurely or with certain health conditions. RSV is a highly contagious virus that can be transmitted by droplets in the air, and or when a person touches their face after touching a contaminated surface. In Queensland, the RSV Vaccine, Nirsevimab, is now available for newborn infants in all Queensland birthing hospitals (including Mater Mothers’). Routine immunisation providers can also now provide parents and carers of eligible infants and young children access to Nirsevimab.
