This expert consensus paper aims to provide an overview of the RSV disease burden, unmet needs, and the urgency for RSV prevention in all infants.</p><p><strong>Data sources: </strong>A comprehensive literature review was conducted using Medline via PubMed, to identify relevant studies, including randomized controlled trials, observational studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, related to RSV burden and prevention and nirsevimab. A multidisciplinary group of physicians with RSV expertise from leading institutions in Singapore reviewed the literature on RSV-related topics, convened to deliberate and formulate evidence-based recommendations, summarizing the overall disease burden, unmet needs, and the optimal implementation of an immunization strategy for all infant protection against RSV infections in Singapore.
