[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a newborn currently, but when DS was born at 32 weeks, he received a vaccine for RSV for preemies.

I'm not sure why it's not given out to all newborns, maybe you can ask your pediatrician.

Also, clinical studies have just shown that a new vaccine given to pregnant mothers protects their newborns against RSV. It's not available right now, but it's something to follow.

It's 10k and only available to premies. [/quote]

This is one of the things I hate most about the USA: life-saving meds exist, but the government is too weak to force pharmaceutical companies to lower their prices, like the European Union and other countries do. Same for the life-saving progesterone injection to prevent pre-term labor. Same for insulin.

It's an outrage.

Yes and where does the money to pay for this magic profit loss that gets passed on to the consumer in other ways come from? And how do you propose to incentivize drug companies to develop all these life-saving drugs if they aren’t allowed to profit from them?[/quote]
