title: Influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus hospital burden in young children in East London.
abstract: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated high hospitalization rates attributable to influenza and RSV in children aged 6 months and those aged <12 months, respectively (43 and 92.5/10 000 person-months, respectively). In conclusion, these high paediatric RSV and influenza incidence rates can be used to inform UK policy on childhood influenza immunization and subsequent RSV immunization in the future.
