Is Synagis a vaccine?

0

A. No. Even though Synagis is given as a shot, it’s not a vaccine and it works differently. Each Synagis shot provides a dose of virus-fighting substances called antibodies that help prevent RSV from infecting your baby’s lungs for about 28 to 30 days. That’s why babies who need Synagis get monthly shots during RSV season.
