1. In the first season of RSV vaccination for older adults in the US, only 10.4% of eligible hospitalized patients aged 60 years and older received the shot.
2. Characteristics such as age, sex, education, and social vulnerability influenced vaccine receipt.
3. Patients with chronic pulmonary disease or immunocompromised status were more likely to be vaccinated.
4. Among unvaccinated patients, nearly half had not heard of RSV, with awareness particularly low among those with less education and living in areas of high social vulnerability.
5. Barriers to vaccine uptake included low awareness, limited access, and socioeconomic disparities.
6. Continued monitoring and targeted outreach are needed to improve vaccine uptake in future seasons.
