News & Announcements

We have begun receiving our 2025 supplies of Beyfortus, a single dose monoclonal antibody injection which offers protection against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).


The AAP recommends that ALL infants under age 8 months entering their first RSV season (birthday March 1, 2025 or later), whose mother HAS NOT received an RSV vaccine, should receive a single dose of Beyfortus from October, 1 2025 through March 31, 2026.   

Beyfortus is also recommended for a small group of children between 8 and 19 months who are at risk for severe RSV disease (premature infants with chronic lung disease; children severely immunocompromised; children with severe cystic fibrosis; Native American or Alaskan children). 


The immunization should be given as part of the well visit and IS SAFE to combine with any other recommended immunization, including COVID and Flu vaccine.  Pregnant mothers are generally offered an RSV vaccine, Abrysvo, starting in September and when they are between 32 and 36 weeks of gestation. If a mother has received this vaccine at least 14 days prior to delivering, then her infant is considered protected and does not need to receive Beyfortus as well.


If your child does not have an upcoming well visit, then Beyfortus can be given as a nurse shot visit. 

Please SEND A PORTAL MESSAGE if you think your child should receive Beyfortus.  We will review your child's age and medical history to make sure they are eligible to receive Beyfortus, and then schedule your child for a nurse shot appointment.


This immunization has been covered by most private health insurance plans. Also, most cover the maternal RSV vaccine, but there may be a cost to you depending on your plan. As always, you should check with you insurance company to be sure the immunization is covered to avoid being assessed an out of pocket charge.

Note: Much of the CDC’s website information is still helpful and accurate as it came from scientifically sound research. The CDC’s newer guidance may not always be based on the same careful review and consideration of medical research. For more recent CDC content and updates, it’s smart to check a few trusted sources and talk with your doctor when making health decisions.
