The vaccine, Pfizer’s Abrysvo, is a bivalent shot approved to prevent lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV, according to a news release from the drugmaker. 

GSK received the first approval for an RSV shot May 3 with its Arexvy vaccine. 

There are no approved RSV vaccines for children, another population vulnerable to the virus.
