It’s Australia’s first RSV Awareness Week from 4-10 June. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a highly contagious virus that causes seasonal outbreaks in infants and young children, usually during the winter months. While most will have mild symptoms and recover quickly, others develop severe disease.

Learn more about the campaign and about RSV at www.ifa.org.au/RSVandMe or by searching #RSVandMe on social media.

We are committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas.
