Who should not get Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccine?
Updated August 25, 2023
According to the package insert for both GSK’s AREXVY and Pfizer’s ABRYSVO RSV vaccine, anyone with a history of severe allergic reaction to any of the ingredients contained in the vaccine should not receive a dose of vaccine.
On July 17, 2023, the FDA approved the drug nirsevimab under the trade name Beyfortus, a monoclonal antibody, for the prevention of RSV in infants and children up to 24 months of age. Though the CDC has determined that it can define nirsevimab as a vaccine for their purposes, nirsevimab is not classified as a vaccine by the FDA, American Medical Association or the World Health Organization. To learn about nirsevimab, visit NVIC’s RSV Prevention and Treatment page.
