Description
Nicole Bailey and Zachary Most study in this 2026 paper who took the pregnancy RSV shot in its first season, and what it bought their babies. At a Dallas hospital, 656 mothers confirmed their status by phone survey. Only twenty-seven percent had taken the vaccine, which shields newborns from a lung virus.
Uptake split sharply by age, race, and insurance: white, older, privately insured women led, while publicly insured women barely reached two percent. Nearly three percent of babies of unvaccinated mothers landed in hospital with RSV; none of the vaccinated group's did. The authors call for outreach that closes the uptake gap. Clinics can target reminders where gaps run wide.
