Beyfortus Open Ordering Now Available

VFC providers are now welcome to order Beyfortus as needed. The CDC has released a limited amount in each wave, so we encourage sites to order early. Orders may be adjusted to ensure equity among patient populations.

Dosages:

RSV comes in two dosages:

• 50 mg
• 100 mg

Both dosages are administered as an intramuscular injection with a single-dose, pre-filled syringe and should be ordered to be properly administered by weight.  

Eligible Patients 

• Infants aged <8 months born during or entering their first RSV season
  • 1 dose of nirsevimab (50 mg for infants <5 kg and 100 mg for infants ≥5 kg)  
  • Do not give two doses of the 50 mg product in place of the 100 mg product
• Children aged 8-19 months who are at increased risk of severe RSV disease and entering their second RSV season
  •  200 mg nirsevimab, administered by two 100 mg syringes
