A practical guide to the GP's role
CPD WEBINAR
Event countdown
The Respiratory Syncytial Virus Maternal and Infant Protection Program (RSV-MIPP) has been rolled out across Australia from February 2025 to reduce the incidence of serious illness and hospitalisation due to RSV in infancy. GPs will be at the forefront of educating women and delivering maternal immunisation against RSV with Abrysvo® to ‘cocoon’ the developing baby.
GPs will also be largely responsible for arranging ‘catch up’ nirsevimab (a monoclonal antibody Beyfortus™) for infants under 2 years at high risk or whose mothers either missed out on immunisation or were immunised within two weeks of delivery. While maternal immunisation is covered under the NIP, nirsevimab is state funded so all states differ in their approach to the rollout.
Participants will learn how to determine safe and effective maternal imminisation against RSV as well as be able to describe the eligibility, dosage and indications for nirsevimab administration applicable to where they work in Australia.
1
Describe RSV immunisation of pregnant women under the NIP to best cocoon their baby against RSV once born.
2
List the indications for nirsevimab in infants born from the advent of the RSV-MIPP onwards across Australia
3
List the indications for catch-up nirsevimab in infants born before advent of RSV-MIPP and approaching their first RSV season across Australia.
4
5
Determine correct dose of nirsevimab for eligible infants as above.
Describe how practice systems can aid in identifying and recalling pregnant women for RSV immunization and eligible infants as above for nirsevimab.
6
Determine the resources and correct information for the RSV-MIPP according to the state you work in.

Access the RP & MO activities via the buttons on the webinar registration page.
Participants are encouraged to engage with the provided Reviewing Performance (RP) and Measuring Outcomes (MO) activities to maximise the impact of their learning through direct and practical application to clinical practice.
Measuring Outcomes (MO) Developing Clinical Guidelines - Earn 5 hours
The Measuring Outcomes Developing Clinical Guidelines (DCG) activity guides you through a process of implementing a new guideline or standard relating to RSV Mother and Infant Protection in your practice. This practical MO activity can be completed at any time, independently of webinar participation.
Pre-webinar Reviewing Performance (RP) activities - 1 hour
This webinar includes a pre-webinar RP activity, designed to enhance your educational experience. If you don’t complete it before the webinar, don’t worry, it can be completed afterwards as well, or before you watch the on-demand video (if you miss the webinar).
