What is respiratory syncytial virus mRNA vaccine?

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of respiratory illness. The virus spreads easily and usually affects the lungs and airways. For most people, infections can feel like a common cold, but for some, the virus can be life-threatening.

Respiratory syncytial virus mRNA vaccine is used to prevent lung disease caused by respiratory syncytial virus in adults:

  • 60 years of age and older; or
  • 18 to 59 years of age who are at a higher risk for RSV (due to conditions like diabetes, or lung or heart disease).

Respiratory syncytial virus mRNA vaccine does not contain RSV and cannot cause lung disease from RSV.

Like any vaccine, the respiratory syncytial virus mRNA vaccine may not protect every person from disease.
