About

This study looks at how the birth month of infants in the United States affects their risk of getting a serious respiratory virus called RSV. It describes that babies born from May to September have a higher chance of catching RSV during their first season, while those born from October to December are more likely to be hospitalized. The research supports using preventive medicine like nirsevimab for these infants. It also highlights that all babies remain at risk throughout their first year and suggests timing interventions based on birth month for better protection against RSV.
