The FDA approved Pfizer’s Abrysvo, the first and only RSV vaccine for adults aged 18 to 59 who are at increased risk of severe respiratory illness caused by RSV.

The approval is based on data from Pfizer’s Phase 3 MONeT trial, which evaluated the vaccine’s safety and efficacy in high-risk adults, according to an Oct. 22 news release from the company. 

The expansion builds on the previous indication for adults 60 years and older. The vaccine is also approved for pregnant individuals to protect infants from birth up to six months. 

With the decision, Abrysvo offers the broadest RSV vaccine coverage for adults and remains the only RSV immunization approved for both younger adults and pregnant individuals.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
