A Lanarkshire woman who nearly lost her new born son after he contracted RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus) is urging pregnant women over 28 weeks to get their RSV vaccination.
Fiona Walker gave birth to baby Ethyan six weeks early at University Hospital Wishaw. Ethyan got home but within a few days had developed a cough and became unwell.
As his condition deteriorated Ethyan was rushed by ambulance to University Hospital Wishaw (UHW) where he was admitted and cared for by the paediatric team.
Fiona, from Larkhall, was told by the team that baby Ethyan had bronchiolitis (a lung infection) caused by the RSV virus. The Lanarkshire Live app is available to download now.
