Description
Moath Aljohani and Dawood Al-Oraini survey older adults in a Saudi region about the RSV vaccine, in a 2026 paper. The vaccine was newly offered there to adults aged sixty and over. Little was known about how this group views it.
An online survey drew three hundred forty-one valid replies. Most respondents had never heard of RSV, and only a handful had taken the vaccine. Overall acceptance was low, at about one in six. A doctor's recommendation was the top reason among those willing. Hesitant respondents most often cited the vaccine being new and worries about safety. Past uptake of other vaccines predicted acceptance.
