Ordering Vaccine
Thunder Bay Providers - Use the Thunder Bay Providers RSV Form (PDF - Updated September 2024)
The 2024-2025 infant and high-risk children RSV prevention program has ended and doses of Beyfortus and Abrysvo should no longer be ordered or administered to infants, children, or pregnant individuals.
A fall campaign has been confirmed and eligibly will include catch up for infants born between April 2025 at the start of the fall campaign to provide them with the best protection going into the RSV season
Any viable Beyfortus vaccine currently in stock should be kept under cold chain in fridges – it does not need to be returned to TBDHU.
It can be used this fall, reducing the need for providers to wait for product once the fall campaign is launched.
