Childhood vaccination has played a critical role in the reduction of morbidity and mortality from communicable diseases, including specific respiratory pathogens

The objective of this study was to describe the occurrence of skin infection associated hospitalizations in children born in Western Australia (WA).

Reliance on hospital discharge diagnosis codes alone will likely underestimate the burden of respiratory viruses

Skin infections are a significant cause of severe disease, requiring hospitalization in Western Australian children, particularly with Aboriginal children

Children with acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) frequently exhibit virus-virus codetection, yet the clinical significance of ARTI remains contentious.

Our results lend support to a vaccination strategy which includes family members in order to provide maximum protection for newborn babies.

Children who were born with reduced gestational age, birthweight, and birth length have persistently increased rates of infection-related admissions to hospital until age 18 years

Bronchiolitis hospitalisations are a reasonable proxy for the timing of RSV detections, but may not fully capture the magnitude of RSV epidemics
