The first shot that protects all infants against respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, won the unanimous backing of an advisory panel to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday.
This is great news after last year. I saw so many sick babies and miserable kiddos. It’d be great to have something to let them avoid all of that!
Anyone with a small child very clearly remembers how brutal last years RSV season was. I bet adoption is going to be high, get it before they have supply constraints.
It will continue to get worse due to the antivax movement. They will go full swing against this vaccine.
It’s unfortunate that in the 21st century, we are moving backward in the world. We should be exploring the universe and cure all diseases. Yet, we have a large majority of Americans who want to take us backward.
And I think it’s going to be completely reasonable when parents of young children state those that refuse the vaccine aren’t going anywhere near their kids
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.
