More than 150 infants and pregnant women have been administered incorrect vaccines since the rollout of newly approved RSV vaccines for adults and the monoclonal antibody nirsevimab for babies and young children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.
According to current guidelines, all infants younger than eight months, who are born during or entering their first Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) season are advised to receive Nirsevimab (Beyfortus), a preventive RSV antibody. Nirsevimab is also recommended for some children between the ages of 8 months and 19 months who are at increased risk for severe RSV disease and entering their second RSV season.
