Abrysvo (respiratory syncytial virus vaccine)

How Abrysvo Works

Abrysvo is a vaccine designed to protect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. It works by stimulating the body’s immune system to produce antibodies against RSV. When a person is vaccinated with Abrysvo, their immune system recognizes the virus as a threat and produces antibodies to fight it off. These antibodies remain in the body, ready to defend against future RSV infections. By priming the immune system in this way, Abrysvo helps to prevent RSV-related illnesses, particularly in infants and young children who are at higher risk of severe complications from the virus.
