Since November 4, parents of babies under 6 months and more vulnerable children living in the Suroît region can protect their little ones against the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a seasonal virus responsible for infections such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia.

Thanks to Nirevimab, a new free immunizing agent, a simple intramuscular injection is all it takes to reduce the risk of serious complications. Quebec is the first province to offer this immunizing agent by intramuscular injection, available since November 4.

Access criteria :

- Infants under 6 months of age on October 1, 2024, or born since that date;

- Children with health conditions exposing them to an increased risk of complications;

For babies born recently, the dose can be administered directly at birth, in a hospital or birthing center.

For babies who were unable to receive the dose following birth, it is possible to book an appointment on Clic Santé or call 1-877-644-4545 and choose the local Point of Service nearest you.
