A study evaluating RSV intervention cost effectiveness in 133 LMICs found that RSV interventions could be cost saving in one-third of countries evaluated and cost-effective in the remaining countries at willingness-to-pay threshold of 0.5 GDP per capita and when the price for the maternal vaccines was $3.50 and the price of the mAb was $3.50.
