RSV protection for infants (younger than 8 months old)
Our office is currently providing our newborns and infants (under 8 months of age) protection against RSV (Respiratory Syncitial Virus) with an immunization called Beyfortus (AKA nirsevimab-alip). This is provided in a single injection which provides protection throughout an infant's first RSV season. It can be provided during a routine well-visit, including with other immunizations, or it can be provided at an appointment dedicated to it (please call to schedule). For more information, please discuss this at your well visits with us, or read more about Beyfortus by clicking here. If you would like to check your insurance coverage for this expensive immunization, use the code numbers 90380 and 90381 when discussing it with your insurer (almost every insurer completely covers the cost, but not all).
*When a mother receives RSV vaccine between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, and at least 2 weeks before the baby's birth, that infant has sufficient protection against RSV in the first RSV season, and this immunization is not warranted.
