    It seems this is not a vaccine but instead injectable antibodies. I’d be curious the longevity of such a therapy as well as what the risks are of those antibodies being triggered by a different disease or how it would affect those with an autoimmune disease.

      Also what effect does it have on child getting own antibodies to rsv. If you give it to infant are they then able to fight of rsv with their own self made.antibodies at age two or will they need more synthetic ones. At least a vaccine boosts own system
