New RSV Vaccines
Exciting news for Ontario. There will soon be universal vaccination for all infants, high-risk children and pregnant people against the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), to offer better protection and avoid severe outcomes for infants and young children during respiratory illness season.
The Provincial Council for Maternal and Child Health (PCMCH) in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, Ontario Health, and other provincial partners have been working to support the implementation of the expanded RSV prevention program in the fall. Resources for providers and the public will be available in the coming weeks.
