RSV Vaccine (Nirsevimab)

Why do I recommend this injection? 

 

  • Reduces the risk of SEVERE RSV disease by about 80%.  Infants less than 6 months of age are at higher risk for hospitalization.

  • It does not activate the immune system but provides effective protection against severe disease. Nirsevimab contains antibodies against RSV.

  • Excellent Safety Profile:  Side effects are uncommon. The most common side effects after injection are pain, redness, or swelling where the injection was given, and a rash. No serious allergic reactions occurred.
