Some patients may be hesitant because of the cost of these vaccines. Affordability is a barrier to care for many patients.1Without insurance, prices for the RSV vaccine are as much as $350 for patients using online coupon vouchers.12,13In low-income communities, vaccines are unobtainable at ...
They noted similar vaccine effectiveness against hospitalizations and ED visits between those aged 60 to 74 years and those aged 75 years or older, and by vaccine type. The researchers acknowledged several study limitations. For example, patients with RSV-positive encounters ma...
While the committee ultimately voted in favor of these changes to RSV vaccine recommendations, concerns were voiced before the vote regarding “backtracking” by removing older adults without underlying conditions or risk factors from the recommendations. “It is OK for us to reevaluate vac...

However, despite intense efforts, there is no approved vaccine or small molecule drug for RSV. As an enveloped virus, RSV must fuse its envelope with the host cell membrane, which is accomplished through the actions of the fusion (F) glycoprotein, with attachment help from the G glycoprotein....
conformation1. Vaccination induced high titers of weak antibodies, and when patients encountered RSV, their immune systems overreacted, resulting in rampant inflammation and enhanced disease. To generate strong neutralizing antibodies, and therefore good immunity, a vaccine must present the pre-fusion ...
"I want to remind everyone that we have one of the best vaccine safety systems in the world. We have the ability to rapidly acquire information, rapidly assess it, and act on it. We saw that during the COVID pandemic, that system is viable, and is in place," the CDC's Dr. José...
regardless of the virus subgroup. The RSV fusion protein (F) in the prefusion conformation is a major target of virus infection blocking antibodies and is the basis of Pfizer's RSV vaccine. Sequence variability in F between RSV subgroup A and B strains clusters in potent neutralizing antibody ...
Recent elucidation of the structure of the pre-fusion conformation of RSV F protein (pre-F10) and discovery of its importance as a natural immunogen11 has had implications for RSV vaccine development. The high capacity of pre-F to elicit neutralizing antibody titres has been demonstrated in ...
