Abrysvo Vaccine Available August 1

Recommendations for Use of Abrysvo™ Vaccine  

Abrysvo™ is recommended for active immunization of pregnant women during weeks 32 through 36 of pregnancy using seasonal administration (September 1 through January 31) to prevent lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) caused by RSV in infants from birth through six months. One 0.5 mL dose should be administered intramuscularly (preferably deltoid region of the upper arm).  

If administration is prior to September or after January, it will constitute an administration error. Vaccine administration error must be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). 

Any unused doses after January 31, 2025, must be stored until the following RSV season.
