Alternative Names: Beyfortus

Nirsevimab (brand name Beyfortus) is a medicine that helps protect babies from RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). It’s not a vaccine, but it works like one by giving the baby ready-made antibodies that fight off the virus. Babies get it as one shot, usually before or during RSV season, to help keep them from getting really sick. It’s especially helpful for newborns and young babies, who are more likely to have serious breathing problems from RSV. Nirsevimab helps lower the chance that a baby will need to go to the hospital because of RSV.

All babies under 8 months old who are born during or just before RSV season should receive one dose of nirsevimab. Some high-risk babies may get a second dose between 8–19 months old before their second RSV season.
