A top children's doctor in Newcastle has warned that the return to normality after the Covid-19 lockdowns has resulted in the rise of a worrying virus affecting children.
But a potentially "gamechanging" vaccine is being trialled across the country that could save lives.
Professor Marieke Emonts - a consultant at the Great North Children's Hospital - is urging parents in the North East with children under the age of one, to sign up for a trial which could prevent the worst of the RSV virus. RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a leading cause of hospitalisation for the youngest children.
