RSV vaccines are now available to pregnant women in the last trimester.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Late last month the FDA approved Abrysvo, the first ever vaccine created to prevent RSV in babies, by giving the shot to their mothers during the last trimester of their pregnancy.
“We didn’t really allow people to come over those first couple months except for immediate family and very close friends. You just don’t want to expose him to everyone and everything,” she said. “This is certainly something that’s very serious and affects very young children in a very serious way. Morbidity and mortality from the virus is high. So it’s something we need tools against,” said Dr. Greg Marchand, and OB-GYN with the Marchand Institute.“The data behind it protecting against RSV is really extremely strong data. It showed 80% decreases in RSV infections in babies particularly in the first three months. But that protection did last to a lesser degree out to six months.
Doctor Marchand said he’d like to see a shorter, later window for administering the vaccine and stronger language about who it is best suited for.
