| Abstract: |
The article discusses the barriers to administering maternal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the leading cause of acute lower respiratory infections in young children worldwide. Topics include proportion of infants immunized against RSV through either antenatal vaccination or postnatal receipt of nirsevimab administration among linked pregnancy-infant dyads, the economic burden for RSV-associated infections, and recommendation for global efforts to scale up RSV prevention. |
