About The Study: Among adults age 60 years and older in 19 U.S. states, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination was associated with a reduced likelihood of hospitalization with RSV compared with no vaccination. These findings expand upon prelicensure trial results in 2 ways. First, they provide evidence of vaccine protection against RSV-associated hospitalization, of which an estimated 60,000 to 160,000 occur annually among U.S. adults age 65 years and older. Second, they demonstrate protection in a population that more closely represents those at high risk of severe RSV disease, including adults age 75 years and older and those with immunocompromising conditions.
