Rescue for babies endangered: vaccine against RSV is missing in the north!

Pediatricians in Schleswig-Holstein face a challenge: Due to the delivery difficulties of the vaccine manufacturer, you cannot vaccinate all newborns and infants against the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). According to a spokesman for the chamber of pharmacists, the supply is not guaranteed continuously. The constant vaccination commission strongly recommends the RSV vaccination to prevent severe respiratory diseases and associated hospital stays or even deaths. Especially in autumn, when the virus spreads increasingly, vaccination is of great importance.

The situation could be worrying for affected families, since RSV can lead to severe respiratory infections. The doctors and pharmacies in the north are concerned about the insufficient availability of the vaccines. The urgency of the vaccination recommendation underlines the need to find a solution to the delivery problem as soon as possible before the season begins with a higher infection rate. The current state of vaccine supply and its effects on the vaccination campaign are currently still uncertain How www.ndr.de reports .
