RSV is a highly contagious virus that infects the lungs and airways. While many cases result in mild, cold-like symptoms and resolve within a week or two with rest at home, RSV can also cause severe illness - particularly in young babies and older adults (especially those with underlying health conditions).
You can help reduce the risk of RSV by practicing good hygiene, such washing your hands, avoiding close contact with sick people and cleaning surfaces to help stop the spread. But there may be more you can do.
RSV vaccinations are now available under the National Immunisation Program, for people aged 75+ years or +65 years for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
