The CDC recommends a newly-approved RSV vaccine be given during the last trimester of pregnancy to protect newborns.
There's now another way to protect newborns from respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, the leading cause of hospitalization for infants in the U.S.
In clinical trials in which the shot was given between weeks 32 and 36 of pregnancy, the shot reduced newborns' risk of lower respiratory tract disease — meaning lung infections — from RSV by about 57% in the first six months of life. It offered slightly more protection against severe infections, in particular, cutting the risk by 76.5% in babies' first six months.
