WHO Releases New Recommendations: Protecting Infants from RSV Infection 

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently released  recommendations for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections, emphasizing vaccination, monoclonal antibody immunization, and early detection to reduce risks of infection in infants infants. RSV is the  leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in young children worldwide, resulting in a large number of infant  hospitalizations each year, Especially premature infants  and those with weakended immune systems.

Key WHO Recommendations

• Vaccination during pregnancy: Pregnant women are recommended to receive RSV vaccine to pass on protective antibodies to their newborns.
• Monoclonal antibody immunization: High-risk infants (e.g. premature infants, infants with congenital heart disease) should be vaccinated with long-acting monoclonal antibodies to directly neutralize the virus.
• Strengthen early detection: Rapid and accurate RSV testing allows for timely diagnosis and intervention, thereby reducing serious consequences.
