Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is very common and can cause disease ranging from mild upper respiratory tract infections to bronchiolitis, pneumonia or even death. In the UK, intensive care wards in the winter are extremely busy and 20,000 to 30,000 children are hospitalised with RSV each year. This is a disease that causes a huge burden in infants both in the UK and globally. Dr Simon Drysdale, a consultant in paediatric infectious disease, joins our hosts Dr Emma Lim and Dr Chisto Tsilifis to discuss the maternal RSV vaccine, which has been rolled out across the UK, plus advances in research and other recently licensed vaccines. RCPCH had a significant role in ensuring the RSV immunisation programme was introduced in the UK following publication of the JCVI's recommendation to develop one. In March 2024, we published an open letter signed by over 2,000 members urging the UK Government to implement a full RSV immunisation programme for both infants and adults across the UK. Our letter generated media coverage and UK parliamentary attention with MPs and Peers supporting our calls. As a result of our campaign, we welcomed announcements from all four UK governments confirming the rollout of new RSV programmes for infant protection from August 2024 in Scotland, and September for Northern Ireland, Wales and England. Dr Simon Drysdale is Consultant Paediatric Infectious Diseases Specialist at Oxford Children's Hospital and a Senior Lecturer in Vaccinology at the University of Oxford.  This podcast is a collaboration between the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and Medisense.

Nearly two years after Covid-19 was first detected in Wuhan, the world is still very much in a pandemic. The toughest phase may behind us, but we are still faced with the possibility of new variants of concern, waning immunity and vaccine evasion. As first-generation vaccines start to show their weaknesses, next-generation vaccines are becoming more and more important. While hundreds of vaccines are in the pipeline, there are a few frontrunners and other interesting candidates that might be meaningful additions to our Covid vaccine armamentarium. Experts discuss the current status of a number of protein-based vaccines including candidates from Novavax, Vaxine, Clover, GSK/Sanofi and others. DNA vaccines are also still an attraction with the first authorization for Zydus Cadila in India. Other mRNA vaccines might offer meaningful differentiation, while vaccines targeting the S and N protein might also have greater importance when it comes to tackling future variants. While nasal and oral vaccines seem appealing for the prevention of infection and transmission, they also have some inevitable hurdles to overcome and are still a long way off materializing. Experts discuss future manufacturing hurdles that will require greater global collaboration to achieve future vaccine production and distribution goals. Finally, experts discuss the current global status so far and forecasts for exiting the pandemic state and entering a livable endemic.  Expert Guests: -- Reynald Castaneda is the Clinical Trials Editor of GlobalData Media in London, covering drug development for investors and the pharmaceutical industry. -- Dr Maria Elena Bottazzi is the Associate Dean, National School of Tropical Medicine and Professor of Pediatrics (Tropical Medicine) and Molecular Virology and Microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas, US.

As the world tries to take a hold over the delta variant, we're all watching and waiting to see if the virus is going to evolve into something new. There are fears that natural selection could potentially yield a new variant that will completely escape all of our current vaccines. While these scenarios are hypothetical, experts discuss the need to be vigilant and prepared without unnecessary panic. Experts unpack the virus' evolution so far into delta and how that has impacted our goals for herd immunity. They talk about the possibilty for delta to change into a variant more transmissible or virulent, and how potentially leaky vaccines might impact or enhance the virus' evolutionary path. In August, Joe Rogan highlighted a paper on his podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience," which raised public concern that our current vaccines are potentially encouraging new potent variants to emerge. The author of that paper, Professor Andrew Read, comes on to clarify his research in chickens and where certain extrapolations can and can't be made. Meanwhile, experts discuss the possibility of vaccine pressure and the need for new vaccines and which types of vaccine development strategies might better help us get ahead of the virus' curve.  Expert Guests: -- Dr Shabir Madhi Shabir Madhi is Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences and Professor of Vaccinology at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
