Why are pediatricians THIS excited when the RSV immunizations arrive?

Because RSV is incredibly common, and for our littlest patients, it can be incredibly serious.

RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) affects almost all children by age 2. For many kids, it looks like a bad cold. But in babies, especially during their first RSV season, it can cause bronchiolitis, trouble breathing and feeding, and sometimes hospitalization.

The good news? We now have powerful ways to protect babies from severe RSV disease.

During pregnancy: Pregnant people can receive the RSV vaccine between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy during RSV season. The antibodies they make cross the placenta and help protect the baby during those vulnerable first months of life.

For babies: Infants can receive a long-acting RSV antibody called nirsevimab. It provides protection throughout their first RSV season and is recommended for babies younger than 8 months entering their first RSV season if they aren’t already protected through maternal vaccination.

For some higher-risk children: Certain children ages 8–19 months who are at increased risk for severe RSV disease are also recommended to receive nirsevimab before or during their second RSV season.

So when you see your pediatrician celebrating that shipment…this is why. More protection against one of the biggest causes of infant hospitalization? We get VERY excited about that. ❤️

Talk to your pediatrician or OB about which RSV protection is right for your baby.

This Children’s Cardiomyopathy Awareness Month, we are proud to share that Columbia’s Pediatric Advanced Cardiac Care and Transplantation Program has once again been recognized as a Cardiomyopathy Center of Care by the Children’s Cardiomyopathy Foundation — one of just two centers citywide to hold this designation.

Cardiomyopathy affects the heart muscle and is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in children, and a common reason for pediatric heart transplantation. Two-thirds of diagnosed cases have no known cause, and some kids show no symptoms until the disease has progressed. Early detection in partnership with pediatricians and specialized, ongoing care make a big difference in the lives of children.

We are grateful for Drs. Marc Richmond, MD, and Warren Zuckerman, MD, at Columbia Medicine for their leadership.

Each Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the community reflects on Dr. King’s extraordinary legacy and a powerful moment of connection to our own history.

On September 20, 1958, Dr. King survived a life-threatening attack at a Harlem book signing. Two of the surgeons who helped save his life, Drs. Aubré de Lambert Maynard and John W.V. Cordice Jr. would later become Columbia University faculty members.

“If we had lost King that day, the whole civil rights era could have been different,” Cordice said.
