About

This article focuses on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common virus that can be serious for infants and older adults. It describes new ways to prevent RSV, including monoclonal antibodies and vaccines. Previously, only one option was available for many years, but now there are more choices. The article aims to help European policymakers manage the costs of these new treatments so they don't become too expensive for public health systems. It warns against making RSV seem like a bigger problem than it is due to pressure from large companies selling these products.
