According to a recent Vox article, the FDA  has granted approval for the first-ever vaccine to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in adults. The vaccine, called Arexvy, was developed by AstraZeneca and is designed to protect against the virus, which can cause serious respiratory illness, particularly in older adults and those with weakened immune systems. The approval of Arexvy represents a significant step forward in the fight against RSV, which has long been a major cause of illness and death worldwide.
