In the final episode of Season 12, Sheena extends gratitude to Salin Plus and dives into the RSV Pathfinder Program in Ireland. She discusses the importance of RSV immunisation for infants, the success of the new monoclonal antibody Nirsevimab, and the implementation hurdles faced by public health authorities. Sheena highlights the delays in policy execution, the need for better coordination between the Department of Health and HSE, and the overall impact on infant healthcare in Ireland. She underscores the necessity of early planning, transparent communication, and the adoption of implementation science to improve public health responses. She concludes with a call for better leadership and organisation to ensure effective healthcare delivery.
