About

This study evaluates the benefits and cost-effectiveness of a vaccine for pregnant women to protect babies from RSV, a virus that can cause serious illness in infants. It describes how giving the vaccine during certain months can save money and improve health outcomes. The study shows that vaccinating mothers could prevent many hospital visits and save lives, but it also costs a lot of money. The best time to give the vaccine is before or at the start of RSV season. Overall, it suggests that while helpful, vaccination comes with high costs and should be timed carefully for best results.
