New RSV shots tied to rare nervous system disorder — should you worry?

A photo shows a close-up on a doctor's hands as he applies a bandaid to an older woman's arm, as if she's just gotten a vaccine.

The new RSV vaccines approved for older adults may be linked to a slightly increased risk of a rare neurological condition, a recent analysis finds. 

However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says the benefits of the vaccines outweigh this slight increased risk. Therefore, the agency still recommends that adults 60 years and older get an RSV vaccine in consultation with their doctor. The available vaccines include one called Arexvy and another called Abrysvo.
