RSV vaccines hold the potential to reduce the thousands of hospitalizations and deaths associated with the virus in the US each year. But vaccines are only effective if they get in the arms of the people who most need them. "It's really important to make sure that people have equal access," Marquez says. "Inequities in access result in inequities in hospitalizations and deaths."
