Recent data demonstrate a 90% protection against hospitalization from severe RSV disease for infants who received nirsevimab in their first RSV season. Providers should understand the mechanism of action, safety, efficacy, and prescribing recommendations for nirsevimab, especially when confronted with caregivers who are hesitant about medications and vaccines.
