Well the nirsevimab (Beyfortus) RSV antibody roller coaster was an exciting ride while it lasted. Unfortunately Sanofi dramatically underestimated interest in this product and only manufactured, like, 10 doses. They have not signaled any intention to increase production or meet demand this season. I'll keep my little stock-bot refreshing the listing just in case we can buy some directly from Sanofi, but it's not looking good.

In the meantime, if you are pregnant, we have the Abrysvo RSV vaccine, which is recommended between 32-36 weeks. If your pregnancy provider doesn't offer it, you can text us to arrange getting it at our clinic. You don't need to be a patient here (though if you're looking for pediatric care, we're happy to provide that as well). Text us at 206-203-2509.

With two new products soon available for the prevention of RSV, here’s info to find out your insurance coverage
