What is
Beyfortus (Nirsevimab)
and does my baby need it?
-
Do you have a baby under 8 months of age?
-
Is it RSV season (Oct - March)?
If you answered yes, your baby may be at risk for RSV and it is recommended they get Beyfortus.
What is Beyfortus?
-
Beyfortus is an antibody medication given as a single shot given to babies before they are exposed to RSV to help protect against RSV.
-
Beyfortus is like a vaccine, in the sense that it is a shot that prevents serious illness, but it is not a vaccine because it doesn't teach the immune system to make its own antibodies (like vaccines do).
Are there any side effects?
-
The most common side effects are rash and pain at the injection site, but these are mild and clear up quickly.
What is RSV?
-
RSV or Respiratory Syncytial Virus causes a fever, runny nose, and cough. Most kids get it before then turn 2 and, in many cases, RSV is like a bad cold that resolved within a week or two. But RSV can get very bad, especially for infants, and it's one of the main reasons babies can be hospitalized. It can also be deadly.
