RSV Infant Immunization Program

Saskatchewan is changing its approach to infant Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) immunization to include all infants born one month before and during RSV season, which typically runs annually from October 1 to March 31 (the season may shift depending on actual rates of infection). Under this plan, with parental consent, every baby born in Saskatchewan during this period will be eligible to receive a publicly funded immunization in the hospital at the time of birth.

RSV immunization should be considered for all infants entering their first RSV season, and for those with increased risk during their second season. Broader immunity can reduce severe outcomes in infants, helping to protect health system capacity by easing pressure on services and reducing the pediatric hospitalizations typically experienced during the respiratory season.

For more information on the Beyfortus immunization, it is best to discuss with your prenatal care team, maternal health care providers while in the hospital, or contact your primary healthcare provider.

Contact the RSV Coordinator in your area.
