TThe FDA has licensed mResvia (Moderna), an mRNA respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, for prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV in adults ≥60 years old. It is the first mRNA vaccine to be licensed in the US for this indication. Two recombinant RSV vaccines, Arexvy and Abrysvo, are also available for prevention of RSV LRTD. Arexvy is approved for use in adults ≥50 years old. Abrysvo is approved for use in adults ≥60 years old and in pregnant women to prevent RSV LRTD in their infants.

The recombinant respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine Arexvy (GSK) has now received FDA approval for use in adults 50-59 years old who are at increased risk for lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV. It was previously approved only for adults ≥60 years old. Two other RSV vaccines have received FDA approval: Abrysvo, a recombinant vaccine that is licensed for use in adults ≥60 years old and in pregnant women at 32-36 weeks' gestation to prevent RSV-associated LRTD in their infants, and mResvia, an mRNA vaccine recently licensed for use in adults ≥60 years old that will be available for the 2024-25 RSV season.

Two recombinant vaccines, Arexvy (GSK) and Abrysvo (Pfizer), have been approved by the FDA for prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in adults ≥60 years old. They are the first RSV vaccines to be approved in the US. Abrysvo is also approved for use in pregnant women at 32-36 weeks' gestation to prevent LRTD caused by RSV in their infants from birth through 6 months of age.

The FDA has approved nirsevimab-alip (Beyfortus – AstraZeneca/Sanofi), a long-acting monoclonal antibody, for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease in neonates and infants born during or entering their first RSV season, and in children ≤24 months old who are at increased risk for severe RSV disease through their second RSV season. Nirsevimab is the first drug to be approved for protection of all infants during their first RSV season.
