The conclusion of our 14-year study is that palivizumab prophylaxis has truly proven itself effective for infants at risk in our region during the research time period. Over the years, the immunization season has not changed and the number of doses hasremained the same, as have the indications for immunization. What has changed, however, is an increase in the number of immunized infants without a significant increase in the number of re-admissions to hospital on account of respiratory disorders.
