An international study examining Covid-19 severity on hospitalised children and adolescents has found that as the virus became more infectious, intensive care admissions dropped across multiple age groups regardless of vaccination status.
A nasal spray that could potentially prevent childhood ear infections and reduce antibiotic use is a step closer to clinical trials thanks to a $500,000 CUREator grant.
Global circulation of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is shaped by human air travel with travellers hosting new strains fuelling transmission across borders, an international The Kids Research Institute Australia study found.

A new research project aims to demonstrate how influenza vaccination in children could be a highly cost-effective health care intervention in Australia.
New mothers in Perth are teaming up with researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia in a global bid to develop the first vaccine to prevent Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) disease.
Children with chronic medical diseases are at an unacceptable risk of hospitalisation and death from influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections. Over the past two decades, behavioural scientists have learnt how to design non-coercive 'nudge' interventions to encourage positive health behaviours. Our study aims to evaluate the impact of multicomponent nudge interventions on the uptake of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines in medically at-risk children.
Invasive Group B Streptococcus remains a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis has been implemented in many countries with a reduction in early-onset disease, but an effective vaccine may further reduce the disease burden. Candidate vaccines targeting capsular polysaccharides and surface proteins are now in clinical trials.
Aboriginal community members throughout the Kimberley will take a lead role in driving healthy skin messages within their own communities thanks to a major funding boost to The Kids Research Institute Australia’s SToP Trial.
