MedPage Today (4/25, Kahn) reports, “A majority of pregnant individuals or those trying to become pregnant were interested in getting a maternal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine once it became available, a nationwide survey found.” In the poll, 54% of respondents “said they were ‘very likely’ to get an RSV vaccine during pregnancy...reported” researchers in Pediatrics. Healio (4/25, Weldon) reports this figure “rose to 63% if they reported perceiving RSV infection as serious and likely. Among those who felt RSV infection was not serious, only 35% planned to get vaccinated.”
