FDA Approves RSV Vaccine For Pregnant Mothers

The FDA approved Pfizer's vaccine for pregnant mothers to guard against RSV and newborns. This is the first RSV vaccine that is cleared for pregnant women. Pfizer's studies show that the vaccine is 82% effective at preventing severe illness for the first three months after birth. Pfizer says universal vaccination could prevent up to 16,000 hospitalizations and 300,000 doctors visits annually. Now the CDC must issue use recommendations for the vaccine.
