Which statement is TRUE regarding RSV prophylaxis in children?

  1. Used only for infants born at < 32 weeks

  2. Dosed annually

  3. Not for premature infants

  4. Used for premature infants and children < 24 months with select medical conditions

The correct answer is: Used for premature infants and children < 24 months with select medical conditions

RSV prophylaxis is used for premature infants and children under 24 months who have certain medical conditions that put them at high risk for severe respiratory tract infections, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia or congenital heart disease. It is not given annually, but only during the RSV season. It is also not restricted to infants born at less than 32 weeks, as it can also be beneficial for term infants with high risk conditions. Therefore, the only statement that is true regarding RSV prophylaxis in children is D.
