FAQ

What about infants under 13 months born before April 1, 2024?

These are NOT eligible for reimbursement of nirsevimab (Beyfortus°), even if they are premature and may not yet have been exposed to RSV. 

Reimbursement for palivizumab (Synagis°) remains available for prematurely born children who meet the criteria (criteria NL and criteria FR). Stock is available.

What about infants under 13 months whose mothers received the Abrysvo® vaccine between January 2024 and March 2024?

for these cases, no reimbursement for nirsevimab (Beyfortus°) is provided.

Can a CIVARS approval be revoked?

Yes, this is possible. This is a legal grey area.

What about vulnerable children without a Belgian National Registry Number?

A Belgian National Registry Number is an absolute requirement. Therefore, only being registered with a Belgian health insurance is insufficient without the Belgian National Registry Number! Each case should be treated individually with the relevant authorities (Fedasil, OCMW, etc.).
