Pfizer's RSV vaccine to protect babies gets greenlight from FDA
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.

Quick Glance: FDA Panel Recommends First Nonprescription Birth Control Pill
  • A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expert panel unanimously voted to make an oral contraceptive pill available over-the-counter.

  • If the FDA adopts the panel’s recommendation, the birth control pill will become the first oral contraceptive women can take without medical supervision.

  • The committee’s decision was heavily influenced by the need for an accessible form of nonprescription contraception that’s more effective than currently available methods like condoms.

  • The committee concluded that the potential benefits of over-the-counter birth control pills, including increased access to birth control and fewer unintended pregnancies, outweighed the potential risks of inappropriate use.

Quick Glance: FDA Approves First-Ever RSV Vaccine for Older Adults
  • The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first-ever vaccine to combat severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

  • RSV also causes more than 177,000 hospitalizations and 14,000 deaths among older adults each year.

  • During an FDA advisory panel meeting in February, researchers from GSK reported cases of neurological disorders post-vaccination, including one case of Guillain-Barré in a 78-year-old woman in Japan about nine days after receiving the shot. Nonetheless, panel members recommended the vaccine for older adults as safe and effective.

  • Sanofi's monoclonal antibody for infants and toddlers and Pfizer's RSV vaccine candidate for pregnant people are also in development.
