Dr Ross Walker interviews Prof. Lucy Morgan, Clinical Professor at the University of Sydney and Chair of Lung Foundation Australia about 2025’s record surge of over 177,000 RSV cases and the severe risks it poses to older adults, including pneumonia and loss of independence. Ahead of the winter respiratory season, Prof. Morgan highlights the May 15 rollout of Australia’s first free RSV vaccine for seniors via the National Immunisation Program. The conversation clarifies how to distinguish RSV from a standard cold, explores the heightened vulnerabilities for those with chronic conditions, and urges the two million eligible Australians to secure this critical protection.
