Sociodemographic Factors, Intent-Uptake Disparities, and Nirsevimab Availability in Infant RSV Immunoprophylaxis

Sociodemographic factors significantly influence the intent to receive nirsevimab and RSV immunoprophylaxis uptake. Having an adult/partner in healthcare was the most significant predictor for intent, suggesting that greater health literacy drives immunization intention. Enrollment in out-of-home childcare was the sole predictor of RSV immunoprophylaxis uptake. These findings highlight the importance of policy initiatives that promote equitable access to RSV immunoprophylaxis, including strategies to address socioeconomic barriers, improve health literacy, and ensure consistent availability of preventive agents for all infants.

Abstract

Sociodemographic factors significantly influence the intent to receive nirsevimab and RSV immunoprophylaxis uptake. Having an adult/partner in healthcare was the most significant predictor for intent, suggesting that greater health literacy drives immunization intention. Enrollment in out-of-home childcare was the sole predictor of RSV immunoprophylaxis uptake. These findings highlight the importance of policy initiatives that promote equitable access to RSV immunoprophylaxis, including strategies to address socioeconomic barriers, improve health literacy, and ensure consistent availability of preventive agents for all infants.
