Demographic Characteristics Associated With Uptake of Neonatal Respiratory Syncytial Virus Prophylaxis

This study highlights the high uptake of RSV prophylaxis within a universal healthcare model and identifies the possibility of maternal service member status as a factor influencing uptake. The results suggest that the first month of life is a pivotal period for addressing gaps in RSV prophylaxis coverage. Although race did not significantly affect uptake, ongoing research is needed to explore barriers and refine strategies to optimize prevention efforts, particularly among dependent and retired populations. These findings underscore the role of universal health care in mitigating disparities and improving neonatal health outcomes.
