RSV antibody (nirsevimab / Beyfortus)
What it is
One dose protects the first RSV season. Hospital for most; babies born Apr–Jul get it at Tipat Halav; missed doses given Aug–Mar.
Start preparing
- If your baby was born between April and July, ask Tipat Halav when the seasonal dose is given (usually from August).
- High-risk infants (preterm, heart/lung disease) get a second dose in the second season — ask the pediatrician.
