Know the signs: Parents encouraged to recognise RSV symptoms

Thu, Nov 06, 2025

As the peak RSV season (typically December and January) approaches, parents and caregivers should become familiar with the symptoms of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is a common virus that causes coughs, colds, and may cause infection in the lower part of the respiratory system. These are known as lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs).

An online survey conducted by Sanofi in 2024 consisted of 500 adults who were either currently pregnant or who had children under the age of four in Ireland, to better understand their level of awareness and knowledge of RSV. The survey results revealed that just over half (51 per cent) of Irish parents had heard of RSV and understand the risk it poses to infants and babies, but almost one in five (19 per cent) had not heard of RSV.
