Great news about the RSV vaccines for moms and the antibody shot for babies!

CDC data show that after widespread uptake of maternal RSV vaccine and nirsevimab, RSV hospitalization rates in infants less than 3 months old were 45-52% lower in the 2024–25 RSV season than in seasons before products were introduced. New/expecting parents should discuss RSV vaccines/antibodies with their providers. https://bit.ly/42Z59hd
