RSV

Infectious diseases Active campaign

RSV

Target:
Infants

Being a parent is all about big responsibilities and tough choices. At the end of the day, parents are just trying to keep their kids safe. Sometimes we can, and sometimes it’s as natural and sweet as feeling them breathe when they fall asleep in our arms. So we can protect their breath by getting involved in the immunisation campaign against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).

RSV can cause severe acute respiratory infections, especially in the first 6 months of a child’s life, but it can be prevented by administering the monoclonal antibody Nirsevimab.

Nirsevimab is offered as a priority, free of charge, to children born between 1 October 2025 and 31 March 2026, in a single dose. As well as babies, the antibody can also be given to children born between 1 April 2025 and 30 September 2025 . You can choose to get the jab or not, and you can go to one of the approved public or private maternity centres in Puglia, your family paediatrician’s surgery or a vaccination centre.
