About

This article discusses the implementation of newly developed nirsevimab into clinical practice. Approved in July 2023, it is costly and has supply issues. Hospitals struggle with high demand and limited availability, leading to unequal access. Pediatricians are urged to work together to ensure all eligible infants receive the treatment despite these obstacles. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests strategies like bundled payments for newborn care and better planning based on past vaccine rollouts. The situation highlights the need for improved public-private partnerships and advocacy efforts.
