RSV VACCINES - WHAT OLDER ADULTS NEED TO KNOW
Family Features
Cooler days are not far off, now is the best
time to plan ahead for a healthy winter.
One common respiratory illness, respiratory
syncytial virus, or RSV, usually causes mild,
cold-like symptoms, but it can be severe and even
deadly for older people.
“As we grow older, our immune systems do
not work as well and we are more likely to have
chronic conditions, which means we are at increased
risk of getting very sick from common viruses
as we age,” said Alison Barkoff, who leads
the Administration for Community Living within
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
“Getting vaccinated is the best protection
against fall respiratory viruses like RSV. It can
help keep symptoms mild and help keep people
out of the hospital.”
Here’s what older Americans need to know
about RSV and vaccines this fall, according to the
Risk Less. Do More. Public Education Campaign.
Prevention is key. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recommends that everyone
75 years and older get an RSV vaccine. Also,
people between 60-74 should get vaccinated if
they have conditions such as heart or lung disease,
diabetes, obesity or a weakened immune system.
The vaccine cuts the risk of hospitalization from
RSV by at least half.
People living in nursing homes, assisted living
or other long-term care facilities are at even higher
risk. There are many people living together in
these facilities who have medical conditions that
make them more likely to get very sick. While
vaccines may not always stop infection, they can
prevent severe illness. So, vaccination is very important
for residents of long-term care facilities.
RSV vaccines are available. Three RSV vaccines
have been approved for older adults by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration. You only
need a single dose that you can get at any time of
the year, but getting the vaccine in the early fall
offers the best protection for the late fall and winter,
when RSV usually peaks. Getting the vaccine
early gives your immune system enough time to
build up protection.
RSV vaccines are the best protection. The RSV
vaccines have gone through extensive testing.

Last year, more than 20 million older adults were
vaccinated safely. Mild side effects, such as pain,
redness or swelling at the injection site sometimes
happen, but they usually go away on their own in
a few days. Serious allergic reactions from RSV
vaccines are rare.
Prevention is the best option. Respiratory virus
vaccines, including RSV vaccines, can help protect
older adults from serious illness.
