Aimed primarily at parents but also at everyone, this campaign reminds us the right gestures to adopt to limit contamination but also to be attentive and act if the first symptoms appear.
Since the end of 2023, a vaccine for pregnant women and preventive treatments for infants have existed:
An injection of the Abrysvo vaccine can be administered during pregnancy, between the 7th and 8th months. The vaccine allows the mother to develop antibodies that are transmitted directly to the child, who will be immunized from birth to the first 6 months; 2 preventive treatments can be given to the infant: Synagis, intended for premature or high-risk newborns with heart or lung malformations; Beyfortus, intended for newborns and infants under 1 year old.
These products are available in pharmacies and maternity wards (except Synagis, available only in maternity wards).
They are 100% covered by health insurance, subject to some specificities.
Namely
80% of parents have received treatment since its introduction and around 5,800 hospitalizations for bronchiolitis have been avoided.
