Abrysvo, the RSV vaccine, should be administered to pregnant people from September through March. Abrysvo is available to order through WIR, for those that serve an eligible population.
For more information see the DHS flyer Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Protection for Infants.

The following vaccines are available in WIR:
- SPIKEVAX 12+ (Moderna)
- SPIKEVAX 6M-11Y (Moderna)

As a reminder, all VFC providers are expected to carry all vaccines for the population they serve as a condition of being a VFC provider, including RSV and COVID-19 vaccine.

Influenza vaccine continues to ship. Please be sure to accept your transfers when you receive your orders in WIR.
If you have received your complete order and are in need of additional doses for VFC eligible children, you can send in a request to VFC@WI.gov. Include your VFC PIN, the vaccine type you would like, and the number of doses.
