About

This study looks at the cost-effectiveness of two strategies to prevent RSV disease in infants in Canada. It describes using nirsevimab, a long-acting antibody, for all newborns and combining it with RSVpreF, a vaccine for pregnant women. The research finds that both methods can be cost-effective and reduce infant deaths from RSV. Using both strategies together could save money while providing similar protection as using nirsevimab alone. The study was supported by Canadian health organizations and followed ethical guidelines for research involving participants.
