The path to equitable respiratory syncytial virus prevention for infants: challenges and opportunities for global implementation
, The Lancet Global Health, Vol: 13, Pages: e2165-e2174, ISSN: 2214-109XThe approval for a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) maternal vaccination programme by Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance, marks substantial progress toward equitable access, with important work still to come. Several countries, most of which are high-income, have introduced RSV immunisation either using a vaccine containing the RSV fusion protein in its prefusion conformation, which is given to pregnant people in late pregnancy, or by using a long-acting monoclonal antibody (mAb) administered directly to infants. Post-implementation real-world effectiveness data show a major impact in reducing medically attended RSV-lower respiratory tract illness and hospitalisation using either strategy. Although RSV poses a substantial burden to infants and vulnerable children worldwide, 97% of associated mortality occurs in low-income and middle-income countries. However, few of these countries have authorised and introduced RSV preventive strategies. This Review outlines the challenges and opportunities for expanding access to RSV prevention for infants in resource-restricted settings guided by WHO's Immunization Agenda 2030 and the UN's Leave No One Behind framework for non-discriminatory sustainable development. We discuss burden, vaccine and mAb development, health economics and impact modelling, policy, implementation and programmatic considerations, surveillance, and awareness as key RSV domains. This Review summarises recent advances in research and highlights the urgent steps needed to ensure equitable access to RSV prevention for all infants worldwide.

Pre-existing and early cellular immune factors correlate with functionally complete protection against primary controlled human SARS-CoV-2 infection
, Nature Communications, ISSN: 2041-1723Identifying host factors that mediate protection during first exposure to newly emergent viruses may assist in responding to future pandemics. Here, we report correlates of protection in a controlled human infection model of SARS-CoV-2 in serologically naïve individuals (n=34, aged 18-29 years) inoculated with 10 TCID50 of a D614G-containing pre-Alpha variant SARS-CoV-2. Eighteen developed “sustained infection” and seroconverted, while the remaining 16 did not. Pre-exposure and early immune factors associated with resisting infection were comprehensively analysed using multiplex protein, cytometric and RNA sequencing approaches in the upper respiratory mucosa and circulation. Associations between pre-existing antibody level and outcome suggested a modest role for cross-reactive antibodies in protection, with baseline nasal anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike IgM levels correlating with delayed infection onset. Instead, resistance to infection was associated with heightened nasopharyngeal CCL13 levels produced locally by conventional dendritic cells and monocytes. Cross-reactive IL-2 producing T cells against SARS-CoV-2 non-structural proteins and less differentiated NK cells were also enriched at the time of inoculation in these individuals. This was followed by increased numbers of innate and adaptive cellsin the nasopharynx, including resident memory T cells, within 24 hours of virus exposure. Conditional independence network analysis revealed nasal CCL13 as the central node in a module associated with protection, connected to pre-existing RTC-specific T cells by CD1c+ DCs. In those who became infected, higher baseline cross-reactive T cell and less differentiated NK cell frequencies also correlated with shorter duration of infection. Thus, enhanced pre-existing mucosal chemokine levels may enable rapid immune cell recruitment and antigen-presentation to resident T cells in respiratory mucosa, effectively blocking infection. Where this local response fails to c
