Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) represents an important cause of lower respiratory tract illness in infants and children and can result in long-term impacts on respiratory health. RSV also represents a major viral cause of acute exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in older adults. Based on the Immunobiology of RSV, different approaches are necessary to prevent and reduce the burden of disease caused by RSV in different age groups. This presentation will provide an overview and status of the RSV vaccine field (active and passive approaches), as well as a more detailed view of the Sanofi Pasteur efforts in targeting RSV-vulnerable populations.
