Abstract
Introduction
In the 2023–2024 season, systematic immunization with the monoclonal antibody nirsevimab was recommended in Spain. The impact that this immunization program had on the target population of the program is analyzed.
Methods
Pre-post ecological study comparing 2023–24 vs 2022–23 season. The variation in incidence is described by age groups (0–5, 6–11 and 12–59 months) and hospitalization. Incidence rates were calculated and relative risks (RR) were estimated for each group.
Results
The results were very heterogeneous depending on the age group. In children 0–5 months old the RR was 0.16 (0.10–0.25); in those aged 6–11 months, RR of 0.90 (0.56–1.42); and in those aged 12–59 months, RR 1.36 (1.06–1.74). The greatest decrease in risk was in hospitalized children under 6 months, RR 0.13 (0.07–0.22).
Conclusion
The results support the positive impact that this campaign had, especially on hospitalizations.
