Change of process to order nirsevimab 50mg

From 5 September, GPs will not be required to use the ‘nirsevimab order form’ on the NSW State Vaccine Centre (SVC) ordering portal when ordering nirsevimab 50mg.

GPs can now order a maximum of 2 doses of nirsevimab 50mg directly from the SVC ordering portal as part of their monthly routine vaccine order.

This change will enable GPs to provide nirsevimab opportunistically to eligible at-risk infants who miss their birth dose of nirsevimab prior to discharge from hospital. Review patient eligibility for nirsevimab on the NSW Health website.

Due to limited supply, GPs will need to continue to order nirsevimab 100mg through the Nirsevimab Order Form on the portal.

If you have any questions about the program including the nirsevimab ordering process, please contact Immunisation Unit, Health Protection NSW at MoH-VaccReport@nsw.health.gov.au.
