Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of infant hospitalization in the US. RSV infections most commonly occur between late fall and early spring.
We are fortunate to now have two options available to protect infants from severe RSV disease. The first is a RSV vaccine given to pregnant mothers between 32-36 weeks of pregnancy (called Abrysvo). The second, is an antibody injection given to infants after birth and up to 8 months of age, called Beyfortus.
We will be offering Beyfortus at the start of RSV season, on 10/1/2025. Beyfortus is given to infants under 8 months of age whose mother did not receive the RSV vaccine (Abrysvo) at least 14 days prior to delivery.
Please call our office to find out if your child (under 8 months of age) is due for Beyfortus.
