👩🍼 If a pregnant mother has already received the RSV vaccine, does the baby still need RSV monoclonal antibodies?
In many cases, it may not be necessary — if the mother received the RSV vaccine at the recommended time (between 24–36 weeks of pregnancy, at least 2 weeks before delivery).
During this period, the mother’s body produces specific antibodies and transfers them to the fetus through the placenta. These antibodies help protect the baby from birth, reducing the risk of hospitalization and severe disease for at least the first 6 months of life.
However, there are situations where doctors may still recommend RSV monoclonal antibodies for the baby, even if the mother was vaccinated during pregnancy. This can occur if the timing of vaccination was not optimal, or if the baby may not have received enough maternal antibodies. In such cases, administering monoclonal antibodies ensures the newborn receives the strongest possible protection from the very beginning.
In Vietnam, VNVC is a specialized vaccination system with a team of highly trained doctors and nurses. The center collaborates with Tam Anh General Hospital to administer RSV monoclonal antibodies to newborns and young children. As part of the VNVC – Tam Anh healthcare ecosystem, VNVC continues to pioneer safe immunization practices, bringing advanced vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapies to millions of Vietnamese children and families.
