Guidance Recommendations
The Ministry of Health’s Drug Advisory Committee has not recommended nirsevimab for inclusion on the MOH Subsidised Vaccine List (SVL) for prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated lower respiratory tract disease in infants during their first RSV season. The decision was based on the unfavourable cost effectiveness of nirsevimab compared with no immunisation, and the unacceptable price-volume agreement proposed by the company.
