Maternal influenza vaccination was associated with reduced all-cause ALRI hospitalisation in infants under six months. DTPa vaccination in infancy under six months showed no association with all-cause ALRI hospitalisation. ALRIs are a major global burden for children under five. RSV alone causes an estimated 33.1 million new ALRI cases and 3.2 million hospitalisations annually in children under five. Important ALRI pathogens include RSV, influenza, parainfluenza virus, hMPV, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Hib.
