Are you worried about RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) causing a potentially
severe illness in your infant under age 8 months or your high-risk toddler under
age 20 months?  We are, too!  Are you interested in learning about some ways to
minimize or possibly avoid severe RSV infections?  If so, please click on the link
below for more information.
Beyfortus (nirsevimab) is the antibody injection for most infants and some high-
risk toddlers and is now available.  We have a limited number of doses available
at this time but are hopeful that the supply will be adequate this RSV season.
Medicaid and most private insurances are covering Beyfortus.
Important note: if pregnant women receive the RSV vaccine at least two weeks
before delivery (please refer to the link below), most of their newborns will not
need the Beyfortus injection!
Please contact us today if you are interested in scheduling an
appointment for your baby’s Beyfortus injection or would like to receive it
with their regular vaccines!
