Every year, one to three percent of children are hospitalized for RSV, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. In a turn of events, the FDA has just approved a monoclonal antibody (nirsevimab or Beyfortus), which is a synthetic injectable protein produced by AstraZeneca, that fights respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
