Respiratory Syncytial Virus (Rsv) Mrna Vaccine (Intramuscular)
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (Rsv) Mrna Vaccine (Intramuscular)
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of respiratory disease. The virus is highly contagious and usually affects the lungs and airways. For most people, infections can feel like a common cold, but for some, the virus is potentially 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 greater risk for RSV (due to conditions such as diabetes, or lung or heart disease).
Respiratory syncytial virus mRNA vaccine does not contain RSV and cannot give you lung disease caused by RSV.
Like any vaccine, respiratory syncytial virus mRNA vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person.
