The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend a shot of nirsevimab to prevent #RSV for all infants. In addition, the ACIP recommended that American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children aged 8-19 months receive a second dose to protect them during their second RSV season. This decision was informed by the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health's respiratory surveillance study, which found that rates of RSV hospitalization in the second year of life were 4-10 x higher in AI/AN children compared to national data. This is a prime example of how community priorities guide research activities, which can shape policy for American Indian and Alaska Native children.
