[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. [/quote] 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. [/quote] A friend of mines baby died of RSV in the UK because the NHS thought the med used to treat it was too expensive to waste on him. [/quote]
