Note: “The speaker would like to clarify the RSV recommendations from the presentation as the current recommendations match what is on the slides in the RSV section of the presentation.  The recommendations changed in June 2025 and appear in the addendum to the schedule.  The RSV vaccine is recommended for those 50-74 years of age with specific conditions who are at risk for severe disease from RSV and for all who are 75 years of age and older.  The speaker apologizes for the confusion during the presentation.”
