Abstract:
Acute lower respiratory infections in infants and young children, caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), represent a significant global public health challenge, characterized by a substantial disease burden. During the winter and spring seasons, various respiratory viruses tend to co-circulate, leading to increased pressure on pediatric healthcare services due to heightened rates of visits and hospitalizations. Currently, there is no approved RSV vaccine available for children worldwide; however, the development and application of long-acting monoclonal antibodies present a promising avenue for the prevention of RSV in this vulnerable population. In June 2024, Tianjin released"Guidelines for the monoclonal antibody of respiratory syncytial virus in Tianjin (2024 version)", which outlines the promotion of monoclonal antibody administration in vaccination clinics throughout the region. The objective of this paper is to provide reference information that may assist in the formulation and implementation of a national RSV immunization strategy.
