My little girl was eligible for the RSV vaccine, as she was immunocompromised. It sucks watching/hearing our friend's kids being hospitalised by it, knowing there's a vaccine for it, but it's so expensive ($3000-$6000 /yr /child), unless covered by insurance (if eligible), that it's out of reach for most families.

It's not a (active) vaccine, it's monoclonal antibodies, if it was a trial vaccine it would not cost that much.

Sorry, it was naive of me to call it a vaccine, it’s just what it was referred to, or RSV shot. There are vaccines for RSV in the works though, hopefully give people better access to preventive medicine
