A shortage of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccines for infants has been reported in various parts of the United States, including Utah and Minnesota. RSV is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms, but can be severe for infants and the elderly. The vaccine, known as Beyfortus, is in high demand due to the onset of the RSV season. However, the supply has not been able to keep up with the demand, causing concern among parents and healthcare providers.
Intermountain Healthcare, a Utah-based not-for-profit system of 24 hospitals, has reported a shortage of the vaccine. They have been rationing the vaccine, prioritizing infants who were born prematurely or have certain health conditions. Similarly, in Minnesota, healthcare providers have reported a shortage of RSV shots for babies. The situation is the same in Connecticut, where the demand for the vaccine has outpaced the supply.
The shortage of the RSV vaccine is causing concern among parents and healthcare providers, as RSV can lead to serious health complications in infants, including bronchiolitis and pneumonia. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the vaccine for infants at high risk of severe RSV disease. The shortage is expected to continue until the manufacturer can increase production to meet the demand.
