About

This article describes the challenges and advancements in protecting infants from serious RSV disease. It highlights the unpredictability of RSV, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and notes that most infants are infected in their first year. New prevention methods include a monoclonal antibody called nirsevimab and a maternal vaccine approved by the FDA in 2023. These innovations aim to protect all infants rather than just high-risk groups. The supplement includes expert reviews on drug approval processes, transplacental antibody transfer, passive immunization strategies, and how COVID-19 affected RSV patterns.
