Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccination in Older Adults: Considerations for Use and Shared Clinical Decision-Making
Purpose:
To evaluate the impact of two newly U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines, RSVpreF3 (Arexvy™, GSK) and RSVpreF (Abrysvo™, Pfizer), on morbidity in older adults. RSV is known to cause significant health issues in this demographic.
Method:
The current article reviews Phases 1 and 2 and Phase 3 published clinical trials, the recommendations for immunization practices outlined in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, and other relevant literature on RSV infection and vaccine coadministration. A case vignette is also included to illustrate an example of the shared clinical decision-making process for vaccination.
Results:
Findings suggest that RSVpreF3 and RSVpreF vaccines effectively reduce health complications of RSV in older adults. Successful integration of these vaccines with other immunizations is also highlighted, emphasizing the role of an interprofessional team in this process.
Conclusion:
The introduction of RSVpreF3 and RSVpreF vaccines represents a significant advancement in the management of RSV in older adults. This article underscores the importance of shared clinical decision-making in vaccine administration and the effective coordination of an interprofessional team for coadministration with other vaccines.
