Today is #WorldChildrensDay - It is a time to reflect and ask ourselves if we have continued to #prioritize #children this last year. While we never exclude children outright, we often forget to #adapt our #efforts to their #needs. Let's changed that & develop #BetterMeds4Kids! 🤍

Each year, RSV kills 50,000 #infants <6 months, mostly in #LMICs. @who.int recommends #prevention with an #antibody (2 products now approved by regulatory agencies) or a #vaccine. There is hope. Let's ensure infants benefit from life-saving #progress!
