Science Made Simple

How the RSV (Abrysvo®) Vaccine Works

Targets RSV Protein

The vaccine trains the immune system to recognize the RSV F protein, blocking infection in the lungs.

Builds Protection

Strengthens immune defenses without using any live virus, ensuring safety for older adults and pregnant patients.

Protects Vulnerable

Helps shield the most vulnerable populations: infants (through maternal vaccination) and adults 60+ at higher risk of severe RSV.

RSV (Abrysvo®) Vaccine — One Dose Only

The RSV vaccine requires just a single dose for protection. It is not an annual vaccine, and boosters are not currently recommended. The CDC continues to review long-term data to determine if additional doses may be needed in the future.

RSV (Abrysvo®) Vaccine for Pregnant People

The RSV vaccine (Abrysvo®) is recommended during 32–36 weeks of pregnancy to protect newborns against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) during their first months of life. If vaccination is not given, infants may still receive an FDA-approved preventive antibody after birth.

*If delivery is expected within 2 weeks, vaccination may be deferred. Repeat vaccination in later pregnancies is not currently recommended.*
