Abstract:
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV is) a common respiratory virus responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality among infants, elderly with comorbidity, and immunocompromised adults. Two vaccines, Abrysvo and Arexvy, have been approved for prevention of severe RSV infection in adults ≥ 60 years of age. In addition, Abrysvo is approved for use during pregnancy to protect infants from RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection. Currently, there is no national recommendation for the use of the vaccines, but vaccination of elderly at highest risk of severe RSV infection should be considered in a shared clinical decision making.
