Abstract

In May 2023, federal regulators authorized two vaccines designed to prevent infection with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) for adults aged 60 or older. While some efforts have been made to study the prevalence of vaccine uptake thus far, few have studied this group’s intentions to vaccinate, as well as socio-demographic barriers to vaccination. In a nationally representative survey of N = 1,200 US Adults (N = 362 aged 60+), we find that a majority of seniors (53%) intend to refuse an RSV vaccine. As of late Fall 2023, just 14% of those eligible have already received a RSV vaccine. We also present multivariate evidence that vaccine safety and efficacy attitudes, as well as previous vaccination behaviors, are associated with RSV vaccination intentions.
