TL;DR Summary

The CDC advisory panel has recommended that anyone 60 and older should be able to get one of the new RSV vaccines from GSK and Pfizer if they and their physicians think it would be worthwhile. The panel voted 9-5 to recommend that people 65 and older "may" get an RSV vaccine based on shared decision-making. The recommendations will likely lead to a lower uptake of the new vaccines than the manufacturers might have expected had the ACIP voted to accept the stronger "should" recommendation.
