Protect Infants and Seniors from Severe RSV Infections with the Latest Vaccines at Centrepointe Medical Consultants

What is RSV?

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory infection that affects individuals of all ages—but it can be especially dangerous for infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.

Symptoms range from mild cold-like illness to severe complications, including:

  • Bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways)
  • Pneumonia
  • Hospitalization due to respiratory distress
  • Wheezing or chronic lung conditions in young children

RSV season typically peaks between late fall and early spring, similar to flu season.

RSV Vaccines: A New Era in Protection

Thanks to recent advancements, Health Canada has approved RSV vaccines for two high-risk groups:

For Adults 60+

Arexvy® and Abrysvo™ are newly approved RSV vaccines designed for:

  • Adults aged 60 and over
  • Those with chronic heart, lung, or metabolic conditions
  • Individuals living in long-term care settings

These single-dose vaccines reduce the risk of serious lower respiratory tract disease and RSV-related hospitalization.

For Infants and Young Children

Currently, protection is provided through maternal immunization or monoclonal antibodies:

  • Maternal RSV vaccine (Abrysvo™) is given after 36 weeks of pregnancy to pass immunity to the newborn.
  • Nirsevimab (Beyfortus™) is a long-acting antibody injection offered to:
    • Infants under 8 months entering RSV season
    • High-risk infants under 2 years of age

Our team will assess your child’s eligibility and guide you on RSV protection strategies.
