About

This article explores the use of anti-viral monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with routine pediatric vaccines, focusing on nirsevimab for RSV prevention. It describes how mAbs can protect infants from infections and highlights the success of palivizumab in preventing severe RSV cases. Nirsevimab shows promise due to its higher potency and longer protection than palivizumab. The paper suggests that coadministration of mAbs like nirsevimab with vaccines is unlikely to interfere with immune responses, supporting their potential inclusion in regular vaccination schedules for better infant health outcomes.
