RSV Awareness Week highlights research into long-term respiratory health

Each year, our project partner ReSViNET organises RSV Awareness Week to increase understanding of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and its impact on people of all ages. As the winter season approaches, accessible information about RSV, prevention and the experiences of affected families is especially relevant.

During the 2026 campaign, ReSViNET shared personal stories, practical information and expert advice on RSV prevention, as well as accessible explanations of the research projects CLARITY and PIPELINE.

The CLARITY project was highlighted by explaining the questions that are central to our work: what are the possible long-term effects of RSV on respiratory health? And why do some children who experience severe RSV early in life later develop asthma or other chronic respiratory conditions, and others not?

RSV Awareness Week has ended, but sharing reliable information about RSV and respiratory health remains important throughout the winter season.
