2 months agoUS infant mortality dropped in 2024. Experts partly credit RSV shots
The U.S. infant mortality rate decreased to 5.5 per 1,000 live births in 2024, likely aided by RSV vaccination efforts.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices unanimously recommended that adults, particularly those aged 50 to 59 with certain health risks, receive RSV vaccinations.
