About

This review article highlights new developments in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prevention in pediatric patients and safety considerations for clinical trials. It describes two new treatments approved in 2023: a vaccine for pregnant women and an antibody treatment, both reducing RSV-related infections. The field is growing with more trials exploring different methods to protect infants and kids from RSV. While these advancements are promising, it emphasizes the need for careful study of risks and long-term safety through thorough clinical trials and monitoring after approval to ensure safe use of these prevention strategies over time.
