Late last week, the US Food & Drug Administration gave preliminary approval for a vaccine for RSV. It is for people over the age of 60.

Dr. Raymond Pontzer, MD is a infectious disease doctor at UPMC. He says 60,00 to 100,000 adults are hospitalized each year and as many as 10,000 older Americans die each year from the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV.) However, Dr. Pontzer told Rick Dayton there is good news on the horizon as it relates to protection for infants from RSV.
