Abstract
What is already known about this topic? Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes substantial morbidity and mortality in older adults. In May 2023, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first two vaccines for prevention of RSV lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) for use in adults aged ≥60 years. What is added by this report? For both vaccine products, vaccination with a single RSV vaccine dose demonstrated moderate to high efficacy in preventing symptomatic RSV-associated LRTD among adults aged ≥60 years. On June 21, 2023, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that persons aged ≥60 years may receive a single dose of RSV vaccine, using shared clinical decision-making. What are the implications for public health practice? RSV vaccination might prevent substantial morbidity in older adults at risk for severe RSV disease; postmarketing surveillance for safety and effectiveness will direct future guidance.
