About

This article describes how a hospital successfully used nirsevimab to prevent RSV in newborns. They offered the immunization to 99% of eligible infants, with 71% receiving it. Key strategies included teamwork, planning, and education for staff and caregivers. Factors like speaking English or having public insurance were linked to not getting the vaccine. The hospital's approach ensured fair access and can be a model for others. It highlights the need to address both medical and social challenges when providing care before babies leave the hospital.
