The Alberta Pediatric Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Prevention Program is a collaborative effort of the Northern and Southern Alberta RSV Prevention Programs to identify and coordinate RSV immunoprophylaxis for eligible infants and children residing in Alberta. Use this map to determine which program applies to you.

These programs are responsible for:

• Evaluating an infant or child’s eligibility to receive RSV immunoprophylaxis based on agreed upon criteria by the program directors in collaboration with invested parties.
• Notifying the referral source of the infant or child’s eligibility or non-eligibility.
• Coordinating shipment of Palivizumab to regional points of care i.e. hospitals, community health centers.
• Connecting families to points of care where immunoprophylaxis is administered.

RSV Season Commencement

• Commencement of RSV immunoprophylaxis for each region will be determined by the program director based on local epidemiology.
• The “active” RSV season in Alberta typically commences in November or December and continues through to April. Seasonal variations may occur.

The 2025 / 2026 resources for health professionals are being reviewed and updated and will be available mid-fall 2025.
