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.
