About

This study looks at the safety of giving a second dose of nirsevimab to children with heart or lung disease before their second RSV season. It describes how nirsevimab, a long-lasting antibody, is similar in safety to palivizumab and effective in preventing severe RSV infections. The research involved 262 children and found no serious side effects or deaths. Most kids reached the desired levels of protection against RSV. The study was done during COVID-19, which affected RSV spread but still showed that nirsevimab is safe for these high-risk children entering their second season.
