RSV infections kill between 6,000 and 10,000 older adults every year and result in 60,000 to 120,000 hospitalizations, according to the CDC.

A woman receives a booster dose of the Moderna coronavirus disease vaccine at a vaccination centre in Antwerp, Belgium, February 1, 2022.Moderna on Tuesday said its vaccine targeting respiratory syncytial virus is effective at preventing disease in older adults.

Moderna said it plans to file an application for approval by the Food and Drug Administration in the first half of this year. There currently is no FDA-approved vaccine for RSV. The U.S. suffered an unusually severe RSV season last fall among children and older adults as the public largely stopped practicing public health measures implemented in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, such as masking and social distancing.
