  • About 33% of pregnant women in Poland received an RSV vaccine during its first full season of availability.
  • Professor Jan Mazela described the rate as a very good result, while noting that maternal vaccination does not protect every child.
  • Monoclonal antibodies are available for newborns who did not receive protection through maternal vaccination.

About one-third of pregnant women in Poland received an RSV vaccination during the first full season in which the vaccine was available. Professor Jan Mazela called the roughly 33% coverage rate “a great success.”

He also stressed that vaccinating pregnant women does not protect every newborn. Babies who do not receive protection in this way can instead be given monoclonal antibodies, which provide protection throughout the RSV season.

A great success.
