Positive uptake of the RSV immunisation programme for newborn babies, protecting them when they are most vulnerable to serious RSV-related illness. I encourage all parents of babies born between September and February 2025 to ensure their baby is protected.

10 infant deaths in 2024 for a vaccine preventable illness. Have seen so much of this disease in 2024. Please get the pertussis vaccine in the 2nd trimester of EACH pregnancy. cannot overstate how awful this disease is in newborn babies & we have only supportive therapy to offer
