euronews.com/next/2023/08/22/rsv-vaccine-authorised-in-us-for-pregnant-women-for-first-time-to-prevent-infant-respirato
Quick Glance: FDA approves vaccine to protect newborns from RSV
- The Pfizer vaccine is given to mothers late in their pregnancies and provides protection to infants through their first six months of life.
- In a trial of over 7,000 pregnant people and their infants, the vaccine named Abrysvo reduced the risk of infants needing to see a doctor or be admitted to the hospital.
- ABRYSVO's approval as the first and only maternal immunization to help protect newborns immediately at birth through six months from RSV marks a significant milestone for the scientific community and for public health.
- However, the vaccine does not provide long-term protection and is 69% effective at preventing severe RSV disease and 51% effective at preventing a doctor's visit for RSV-related breathing problems by six months after birth.
