What is RSV?

RSV stands for respiratory syncytial virus. It is a common and highly contagious virus that follows a seasonal pattern, which usually lasts from the fall to the early spring.

Why should I worry about RSV?

Most adults who get RSV recover completely, with symptoms lasting between 2 and 8 days. But, in some cases, RSV can lead to other serious conditions resulting in hospitalization and even death.

RSV infection can lead to an increased risk for certain health conditions, including pneumonia and bronchiolitis. In people already living with asthma or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), for example, RSV can cause the condition to become worse.

For some adults, severe RSV can become complicated by heart issues, such as worsening congestive heart failure, acute coronary syndrome (such as heart attack or unstable angina), and arrhythmias (a heartbeat that is too fast, too slow, or irregular).

Why does being 60+ put me at higher risk for RSV?

Even if you feel healthy, almost everyone’s immune system becomes weaker with age, which can put older adults at greater risk for infection.

Your healthcare professional can help you assess your personal risk factors.

How many shots of ABRYSVO will I receive?

The recommended dose of ABRYSVO is one shot, in your arm.*

What are the possible side effects of ABRYSVO?

Fainting, feeling faint, or other stress-related reactions can occur as a response to any needle injection.

Like all vaccines, ABRYSVO can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.

The most common side effects experienced by older adults after receiving ABRYSVO were:

• Pain where the injection was given
• Redness where the injection was given
• Swelling where the injection was given

Although very rare, allergic reactions are also possible.

These are not all the possible side effects. If you experience any other side effect, please tell your healthcare professional.

What can I do to help avoid side effects?

Like all vaccines, ABRYSVO can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.

Before you receive ABRYSVO, talk to your doctor about any health conditions or problems you may have, including if you:

• have ever had a severe allergic reaction or breathing problems after any other vaccine injection or after you were given ABRYSVO in the past.
• have a bleeding problem or bruise easily.
• have an infection with a high fever. If this is the case, then vaccination will be postponed. There is no need to delay vaccination for a minor infection, such as a cold, but talk to your doctor first.
• are feeling nervous about the vaccination process or have ever fainted following any needle injection.
• have a weakened immune system, which may prevent you from getting the full benefit from ABRYSVO.

What is an adjuvant, and does ABRYSVO contain one?

An adjuvant is an ingredient added to some vaccines to help the body produce an immune response. Not all vaccines contain this added ingredient.

ABRYSVO does not contain an adjuvant.

Is ABRYSVO covered by my insurance?

Each insurance plan is different. To verify your coverage you will need to contact your insurance provider. Make sure to have the ABRYSVO drug identification number (DIN) handy.
