Respiratory syncytial virus vaccine


A respiratory syncytial virus vaccine is a vaccine which prevents infection by respiratory syncytial virus. No such vaccine exists.
A 1998 paper reported that research toward developing a vaccine has advanced greatly over the past 10 years. The desired vaccine would prevent lower respiratory infection from RSV in at-risk populations and if possible be useful in other populations with less risk.
A 2019 paper claimed that research toward developing a vaccine has advanced greatly over the past 10 years. The same study predicted that a vaccine would be available within 10 years.
The current types of vaccines which are in research are particle-based vaccines, attenuated vaccines, protein subunit vaccines, or vector-based vaccines.
