At the request of the Discussion Council, the Department of Management must investigate the possibility of a promotion, distribution and awareness campaign of vaccination against the bronchiolitis virus for all pregnant women and include it in the Vaccination Calendar National 2024.
The initiative was presented by the Unión por la Patria bloc and is based on the following considerations:

This disease is usually caused by the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Hence the importance of vaccination in pregnant women, so that they release antibodies during pregnancy and thus protect babies during the winter season.
* From this year, the RSV vaccine has been included in the National Vaccination Calendar on a compulsory and free basis, for all pregnant women in the 32nd to 36th week of pregnancy, until inclusive, between the months of March and July. It is a single dose and can be administered with other vaccines.
* It is advisable for health teams to encourage and promote vaccination for pregnant women to prevent Bronchiolitis and thus take care of the health of their babies, especially in the first 6 months of life . (04-23-24).
