Abstract

We investigated the uptake of nirsevimab for infants and the bivalent respiratory syncytial virus prefusion F (RSVPreF) vaccine for pregnant persons as measures for RSV prevention during an infant's birth hospitalization in a military treatment facility. We found >85% uptake between October 2023 to February 2024. These data may aid health systems plan for future RSV seasons.
