About

This article explores the preferences of healthcare providers and pregnant women for preventing serious illness in infants caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It describes a study where participants chose between different preventive options, like vaccines or monoclonal antibodies. The study found that both groups preferred using a preventive measure over not using one at all. Effectiveness and duration of protection were the most important factors influencing their choices. The findings highlight the need to include RSV preventives in routine care to protect infants from severe illness during RSV season.
