RSV Antibody Vaccine

  1. RSV Antibody Vaccine - This vaccine is offered to infants at the start of RSV Season. It contains actual antibody to RSV and provides immediate help against RSV. RCAM recommends and offers this vaccine to our youngest patients.
  2. Adult RSV Vaccine - This vaccine is offered to pregnant mothers and to the elderly. RCAM does not offer Adult RSV Vaccine but does encourage it for our pregnant mothers if youR obstetrician also recommends it for you.
  • RCAM will offer RSV Antibody Vaccine beginning on October 1, 2025.
  • This vaccine is recommended for all babies less than 8 months old unless their mothers received adult RSV Vaccine between their 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy.
  • Infants coming to our office for a well visit in October or November will be offered RSV Antibody Vaccine at their appointment.
  • Infants not coming to our office in October or November can schedule RSV Antibody Vaccine in our RSV Antibody Vaccine Clinic. These appointments are for RSV Antibody Vaccine only.
