Description
Jonathan Broad and co-authors measure the early effect of a pregnancy vaccine against a lung virus on baby hospital stays in England, in a 2026 study. The virus, RSV, fills infant wards each winter with bronchiolitis. Mothers vaccinated in pregnancy pass protection to newborns.
The program began in September 2024. Time series tracking through March 2026 covered babies under three months old. All cause bronchiolitis admissions fell by about thirty-nine percent against expectation. Admissions tied to the virus itself fell by about sixty-three percent. Critical care admissions were tracked beside ward stays. The authors read the drops as early proof the program works.
