• Current Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommendations
• Risk factors associated with severe RSV disease, including RSV-related hospitalizations
• Approach to stratifying risk factors (eg, age, comorbidities) in determining which adults may benefit from the RSV vaccine 
• Ongoing research on RSV vaccines in younger adults (eg, aged 40s and 50s years) with chronic comorbidities 
• Health disparities related to RSV vaccines
