Beyfortus Open Ordering Now Available
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
