August 04, 2023 RSV Immunization: Beyfortus
In this episode of "The State of Health," Mark discusses the recent approval by the FDA of Beyfortus, a monoclonal antibody shot designed to protect infants against the respiratory syncytial virus (R.S.V.). R.S.V. is a common virus that often leads to severe illness in young children. With approximately 80,000 children under 5 years old being hospitalized each year due to R.S.V., this approval marks a significant milestone in Pediatric healthcare.

Join Mark as he discusses the importance of this approval and its impact on reducing the impact of R.S.V. on children, families, and the healthcare system overall.
