Abrysvo is a vaccine to prevent respiratory disease (of the respiratory tract) caused by a virus called the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Abrysvo is administered to:
or
The RSV is a common virus that, in most cases, causes mild symptoms similar to those of a cold, such as sore throat, cough, or nasal congestion. However, in small infants, the RSV can cause severe respiratory problems. In older adults and individuals with chronic conditions, the RSV can worsen diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and congestive heart failure (CHF). The RSV can lead to hospitalization in severe cases and, in some circumstances, can be fatal.
How Abrysvo works
This vaccine helps the immune system (the body's natural defenses) to produce antibodies (substances in the blood that help the body fight infections) that protect against respiratory disease caused by the RSV. In pregnant women vaccinated between weeks 24 and 36 of pregnancy, these antibodies pass to the baby through the placenta before birth, protecting babies when they are at greater risk of contracting the RSV.
Do not administer Abrysvo
