Potential public health impact of the adjuvanted RSVPreF3 vaccine in adults aged 60 years and older: results from a modeling study in India and Southeast Asia

Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause acute respiratory infection (ARI) and severe symptoms in adults ≥60 years. The adjuvanted RSV prefusion F protein vaccine (adjuvanted RSVPreF3) offers protection to adults against RSV ARI and RSV lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD). We modele...

description Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause acute respiratory infection (ARI) and severe symptoms in adults ≥60 years. The adjuvanted RSV prefusion F protein vaccine (adjuvanted RSVPreF3) offers protection to adults against RSV ARI and RSV lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD). We modeled the burden of RSV among adults ≥60 years in India and Southeast Asia, and the potential impact of RSV vaccination.Methods A Markov model was adapted to the settings of India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. RSV ARI cases, LRTD-associated hospitalizations, pneumonia, and deaths were tallied over a five-year period. Impact of adjuvanted RSVPreF3 vaccination with 30% and 70% coverage was assessed by calculation of incremental differences versus no vaccination.Results A total of 73.9 million RSV ARI were projected to occur in adults ≥60 years living in the selected countries. Numbers of hospitalizations, pneumonia, and deaths were approximately 3.1 million, 2.9 million, and 294,000, respectively. Adjuvanted RSVPreF3 vaccination with a 30% coverage could prevent 8.6 million RSV ARI, 460,255 hospitalizations, 423,659 pneumonia, and 43,693 deaths over 5 years.Conclusions The projected burden of RSV was substantial in India and Southeast Asia, and could greatly be alleviated through adjuvanted RSVPreF3 vaccination of adults ≥60 years.
