Pediatric respiratory syncytial virus rehospitalization rate – a retrospective observational study from Switzerland
Same-season RSV rehospitalizations were exquisitely rare. Routine administration of a dose of a monoclonal antibody for protection against a same-season rehospitalization does not appear to be generally warranted. The majority of patients with subsequent season readmission would be covered by the current recommendations in Switzerland as they had pre-existing conditions making them eligible for second-season RSV prophylaxis.
