A common virus that usually causes cold-like symptoms has killed more than 100,000 children under five globally in 2019, research has found.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was particularly deadly in the very young, with 45% of those cases occurring in children under six months old.
Almost all the deaths occurred in low and middle-income countries.
Experts are calling for a vaccine to be developed and prioritised to these vulnerable groups. Medical experts claim that Covid-19 restrictions are easing around the world and a majority of the young children born in the last two years have never been exposed to RSV - and therefore have no immunity against this virus.
