The epidemiology and burden of respiratory syncytial virus and influenza infections in hospitalized children under 5 years old in Zhejiang, China (2018–2023)
RSV is a significant contributor to disease burden in hospitalized children under 5 years old, outweighing influenza. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the epidemiological characteristics and disease burden of hospitalization for RSV and influenza infections. A more effective prevention strategy for both infections in young children, especially vaccinations against RSV and influenza, is urged.
