RSV Awareness Week
This RSV Awareness Week, 7-13 June 2026, the Immunisation Foundation of Australia invites individuals, families, healthcare professionals, and organisations across the country to unite in raising awareness about RSV and its impact, as well as champion RSV protection for infants and older adults.
2026 Theme: Don’t Let Them Go Unprotected
RSV Awareness Week is held in early June, as winter begins and the risk of RSV increases across Australia. The virus can cause serious illness, particularly in babies, older adults and others at higher risk.
Protecting our most vulnerable is a shared responsibility. When we unite against RSV, we can reduce its impact on our families, friends and communities.
Everyone, from individuals and healthcare professionals to organisations, can help:
Raise awareness of RSV and its impact
Share trusted, evidence-based information
Champion RSV protection for infants and older adults
By being seen and heard, we can help protect Australia’s most vulnerable from severe RSV and related illness. Don’t let them go unprotected.
