Course Description

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of hospitalization in infants under 12 months, yet many infants born outside of the RSV season are unintentionally missed by hospital-based prevention programs. In this short video, experts will share practical, evidence-based strategies for identifying at-risk infants, communicating effectively with caregivers, and implementing catch-up protection using long-acting monoclonal antibody therapy.  

This program has received an unrestricted educational grant or in-kind support from Sanofi Canada.
