Mashup Score: 5Access to highly effective long-acting RSV-monoclonal antibodies for children in LMICs—reducing global inequity - 4 month(s) ago
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), hospitalisation, and mortality in infants and young children, with the highest burden of severe disease in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).1 The predominant burden of hospitalisation occurs in full-term healthy infants younger than 6 months; however, preterm infants are also at risk of severe RSV-LRTI up to the age of 2 years2 as are children with underlying chronic conditions such as congenital heart disease, lung disease of prematurity, or immunodeficiency.

A monoclonal antibody for universal respiratory syncytial virus prophylaxis in infants has recently been licensed. We share our experiences of integrating nirsevimab into the regional immunisation programme in Galicia, Spain. After a 3-week hospital-based immunisation campaign with flexible individualised appointments and educational activities, nirsevimab uptake was 97.5% in the high-risk group, 81.4% in the catch-up group and 92.6% in infants born during the campaign. This successful implementation strategy can serve as a model and may inform other countries’ programmatic deliberations.
