On January 11, the Department of Health released the following notice regarding increased RSV cases and its strain on the health system. Reports have been sent to the Department that pregnant patients have been turned away from pharmacies. The Department asked that pharmacies are aware that: 

• Pregnant individuals are eligible for Abrysvo.  

• • If a particular pharmacy does not have Abrysvo, please refer the pregnant individual to a location that does have it.  
  • We have Immunization Registry (IMR) data showing that pharmacies are administering Abrysvo to women of childbearing age. The IMR does not collect pregnancy status.  

• Adults 60 years of age and older are eligible and encouraged to receive either Arexvy or Abrysvo vaccine.  

• • IMR data shows that pharmacies are giving doses to older adults.
