EO: 207 RSV Vaccines for Moms and Babies, Part 2

Quotable Moments

"I remember the fear of having this, you know, tiny new baby at home and also sending a bigger kid to daycare and being afraid of my daughter contracting illness."

"We tell families that our responsibility is to make recommendations and to provide them with information and answer the questions that they have so that they can make the decisions that are best for them"

"It would take something like greater than 10,000 vaccines, administered at one time in order to overwhelm the system."

"If someone's trying to make a decision and they're not getting good evidence-based information, then they don't have the tools they need to make the best decision for themselves and their family."

"The family is the greatest influence on the health to care decisions that they make."

"Parents have the opportunity by considering vaccination to prevent having a child that's sick and miserable and full of snot and struggling to breathe"

"The RSV vaccine is safe, effective, and very beneficial for your baby."

"Women to know that they're not alone as they navigate this, as they think about how they're going to keep their baby healthy."
