Infant RSV shot wins backing of CDC advisors, paving way for fall availability

  • No this drug is actually approved for prevention and not treatment.

    It probably would reduce the chance they would get sick and get natural immunity. However a RSV vaccine for infants is hopefully not far off so they can gain immunity that way.

  • Note that this is a monoclonal antibody injection and not a vaccine. This means that it will be way more expensive and protection will only last a few months at most. This is still a good thing for that are young and don't mount great immune responses, but an actual vaccine approved for this age group is still needed.

  • Our supply management is also bad, but at least the cost is born by people who use dairy products. I would argue that the US dairy subsidies are worse as everyone is paying for it whether they like it or not.
