About

This statement describes a shortage of nirsevimab and provides further recommendations. ACOG and SMFM recommend Pfizer’s RSVpreF vaccine for pregnant women as an alternative. Pediatricians should prioritize nirsevimab for high-risk infants according to CDC guidelines. ACOG and SMFM are addressing challenges in cost and access for maternal RSV vaccination, encouraging clinicians to stock and administer the vaccine. Clear documentation of vaccination is crucial, as infants protected by maternal vaccination may not need nirsevimab.
