EMA's regular press briefing on public health emergencies https://nitter.eu/i/broadcasts/1jMJgLMdkEYxL
Nearly all children are infected by #RSV by the age of two years, and reinfections are common.
Although infection is nearly unavoidable most children, special efforts should nevertheless be made to protect preterm babies and infants younger than six months old.
#RSV can also cause serious complications and deaths among adults, particularly those aged 65 years and older.
Hospitalisations for adults in the EU, Norway and the United Kingdom are on average 158 000 per year.
Worldwide, the #RSV virus is estimated to cause 33 million cases and 66 000 to 199 000 deaths of children below five years every year.
In the EU, Norway and the United Kingdom, RSV causes an average of 213 000 annual hospitalisations in children under five years.
Respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV) is a seasonal virus that recurs throughout the year in Europe with peaks mainly during the autumn, winter, and spring months (October to April), and is a leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children.
#RSV virus expected to add pressure on hospitals in many EU/EEA countries this season.
Thirteen EU/EEA Member States have reported a rise in RSV cases between October and 14 November 2022.
