New Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Prevention Available for Infants 

The CDC recommends the use of a long-acting monoclonal antibody, nirsevimab (Beyfortus™) to protect young children from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Given by a single intramuscular injection, nirsevimab is recommended for infants less than 8 months who are born during — or entering — their first RSV season, and in children up to 24 months old who remain vulnerable to severe RSV through their second RSV season. Nirsevimab has been shown to decrease the risk of hospitalization and health care visits for RSV in infants by about 80%.

Social Security Administration Conducting Disability Reviews

If you receive Social Security disability benefits, make sure to review any communication from the Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA is conducting “continuing reviews,” when they periodically review medical impairment to determine if a person still has a disabling condition. If you receive a continuing review notice, CF Foundation Compass can connect you with the CF Legal Information Hotline® to see if you are eligible for free assistance.
