What is respiratory syncytial virus mRNA vaccine?
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 at least 60 years old.
Respiratory syncytial virus mRNA vaccine does not contain RSV and cannot give you lung disease.
Like any vaccine, the respiratory syncytial virus mRNA vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person.
