'My son was seriously ill with a virus - now I'm urging expecting mums to get vaccinated'
A woman whose baby became seriously ill after contracting a virus has urged others expecting mums to get vaccinated.
Alice Reynolds' son, Chris, fell ill with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) twice as a baby - the first time being when he was just 11-weeks-old.
The youngster, who is now aged two, was admitted to hospital after contracting the virus for the second time at one-years-old.
Alice, who is from Codsall near Wolverhampton, said: "Chris' breathing just wasn't right and you could see his rib cage sucking in and a bulging in his neck.
"He was also simply exhausted. I was worried that he would suffer from not being able to breathe and get some sort of injury.
