RSV is a highly contagious respiratory virus and the most common reason why babies end up in the hospital in their first year of life. Empress Maria Godoy reports a large study finds a vaccine given to expectant mothers is more effective at protecting babies than previously known.
The study comes from the UK Health Security Agency, where researchers looked at outcomes for some 289,000 babies born between September 2024 and March 2025. That was the first season that the UK offered free RSV vaccines to all pregnant women in their third trimester. That maternal vaccination dramatically cut the risk that babies ended up hospitalized, says study author Matt Wilson.
What we found is that as long as there is at least two weeks between vaccination and birth, we get this kind of 80% effect, 80% reduction.
Clinical trials had shown the shot to be about 70% effective. The research was presented at the meeting of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. Maria Godoy, NPR News.
