Respiratory syncytial virus vaccine is indicated for active immunisation for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus. There are three types of RSV vaccine. The first one is a bivalent, recombinant vaccine, containing two recombinant stabilised RSV prefusion F antigens representing subgroups RSV-A and RSV-B. The second one is a RSVPreF3 vaccine which combines the RSV-specific antigen with an adjuvant system (AS01E), designed to enhance antigen-specific cellular immune response and neutralizing antibodies response in individuals with pre-existing immunity against RSV, and an mRNA-based vaccine that stimulates production of RSV-A and RSV-B neutralising antibodies and induction of antigen-specific cellular immune responses. |
