Ontario , Quebec and Nunavut are the first provinces and territories to offer nirsevimab to all infants free of charge.
Until this year , babies across Canada were only given an antibody drug that protects against severe RSV if they were born prematurely or had other significant risk factors.
For years , that antibody was palivizumab, which had to be given every month throughout the RSV season to maintain immunity.
"There's knock-on effects that is beyond just the individual babies and their families that we’re protecting.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 1, 2024 .
