Understanding RSV and the Impact of NursivMab Immunization
In this week's episode, Sheena discusses Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and provides an update on the current RSV season. She explains the effects of Nirsevimab, the new RSV immunisation introduced through a Pathfinder program for babies born between September 1st and February 28th. She also reads a letter she wrote to Dr. Colm Henry and Minister Stephen Donnelly, urging them to extend the immunization to more babies. She provides insights into how RSV affects different age groups, the success of the Pathfinder program, and encourages listeners to advocate for better immunisation policies. She ends by offering advice for parents of August-born babies on how to reduce their child’s risk of contracting RSV.
