Abstract
Children with cancer and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients are at high risk for severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. Nirsevimab, a long-acting monoclonal antibody approved in 2023, offers single-dose seasonal protection. We conducted a single-center study to assess uptake, factors associated with receipt, and RSV outcomes among eligible patients during the 2024-2025 season. Of 42 eligible patients, 62% received nirsevimab. Delays and missed opportunities for administration were common. RSV occurred in both recipients and non-recipients, including one RSV-related death in an unvaccinated patient. Clinic type and healthcare contact influenced uptake. These findings highlight the need for improved implementation strategies to optimize RSV prophylaxis in immunocompromised pediatric populations.
