TOKYO, Nov 19 (News On Japan) –
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has determined to introduce routine vaccination for pregnant ladies as early as April 2026 to guard newborns from the respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, which might result in extreme signs in infants.
The program will cowl these between 28 and 36 weeks of being pregnant, with the ministry anticipating that administering the vaccine to moms will permit antibodies to be handed to their infants earlier than beginning, lowering the chance of an infection and stopping extreme sickness.
