Information über den neuen RSV-Impfstoff NIRSEVIMAB

Das Respiratorische-Synzytial-Virus (RSV) ist ein «Erkältungsvirus», das bei Säuglingen eine Bronchiolitis (Entzündung der kleinsten Atemwege) verursachen kann. Ein Teil dieser Säuglinge muss als Folge davon wegen Atemnot, Trinkschwäche und Sauerstoffbedarf im Spital behandelt werden, ein kleiner Teil davon auf der Intensivstation.

Seit Dezember 2023 ist ein neuer RSV-Impfstoff (Nirsevimab) vom Schweizerischen Heilmittelinstitut zugelassen. Es handelt sich um eine einmalige Dosis ab sofort.

Studien haben gezeigt, dass damit die RSV-bedingten Spitalaufenthalte von Säuglingen um 70-90% gesenkt werden konnten. Routinemässig wurde der Impfstoff bereits in Winterhalbjahr 2023/2024 in den USA, Frankreich, Spanien und Luxemburg angewendet.

Am 1. September 2024 ist Nirsevimab in die Spezialitätenliste aufgenommen worden, das bedeutet, die Krankenkassen übernehmen die Kosten von knapp CHF 400.-.

Nirsevimab kann in Kinderarztpraxen und Spitalambulatorien allen Säuglingen verabreicht werden, die ab April 2024 geboren wurden.

Das Produkt ist jetzt verfügbar. Unsere Stammpatientinnen und Stammpatienten können sich für einen Termin gerne telefonisch bei uns melden. Zudem übernehmen wir einmalig auch Impfungen für weitere Kinder (sofern Ihr Kinderarzt/Ihre Kinderärztin keinen Termin/keinen Impfstoff anbieten kann).

Information about the new RSV vaccine NIRSEVIMAB

The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a “cold virus” that can cause bronchiolitis (inflammation of the smallest airways) in infants. As a result, some babies need to be treated at a hospital due to respiratory distress, feeding difficulties and need for oxygen. A a small number of them require intensive care.

A new RSV vaccine (nirsevimab) has been approved by the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products since December 2023. This is a single dose vaccine.

Studies have shown that RSV-related hospitalizations of infants can be reduced up to 70-90%. The vaccine was widely used during the 2023/2024 winter in the USA, France, Spain and Luxembourg.

On September 1, 2024, nirsevimab was added to the Swiss list of specialties, which means that health insurance companies will cover the costs of just under CHF 400.

Nirsevimab is recommended for all infants born since April 2024 and can be administered at pediatric practices and outpatient clinics.

The product is now available. Our regular patients are welcome to call us for an appointment. We also provide vaccinations for other infants (if your pediatrician is unable to offer an appointment/a vaccine).
