To describe seasonal patterns of respiratory viruses in infants presenting to primary care (PC) after the rollout of the RSV-immunisation programme in Spain, we analysed multiplex RT-PCR results from infants <1 year with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) attending 57 PC centres in Valencia and Murcia across two seasons. Among the 307 infants, rhinovirus/enterovirus and RSV were the most common detections in both periods. hMPV, bocavirus, and influenza followed. Our findings highlight the importance of community-based surveillance systems for providing real-world evidence to inform future immunisation strategies.
