Overview

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine (RSV preF vaccine; Abrysvo(R)) is a protein subunit vaccine that stimulates active and passive immunity to RSV infection; the vaccine contains stabilized prefusion F (RSV preF) antigens from RSV A and RSV B.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) preF vaccine is a bivalent RSV stabilized prefusion F protein-based (RSV preF) vaccine that stimulates active and passive immunity to RSV infection; the antigen component contains recombinant RSV preF A and RSV preF B proteins. RSV preF vaccine induces an immune response against RSV preF that protects against lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV. The vaccine also induces passive immunization when antibodies to RSV antigens from individuals vaccinated in pregnancy are transferred transplacentally to protect infants <6 months of age against LRTD and severe LRTD caused by RSV.

RSV F glycoprotein (prefusion and postfusion) mediates viral fusion and host-cell entry, elicits neutralizing antibodies, and is highly conserved across the 2 RSV subtypes (A and B).

USES: This vaccine is used to help prevent infection by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It may also be used during the third trimester of pregnancy to help prevent RSV in the newborn baby. RSV can cause serious illness, especially in older adults with certain health problems (such as heart disease, lung disease) and infants.

This vaccine works by increasing the body's natural defense (immunity) against the virus. Vaccines may not fully protect everyone who receives them.
