foregoes a stronger "should" recommendation, votes that adults 60 & older "may" get an vaccine if they & their health-care provider deem it of value to them.

Listening to ACIP meeting on the candidate infant RSV immunization called "nirsevimab". It's not technically a vaccine, its a monoclonal antibody studied for 5 months post injection.

An interesting tidbit is that adverse events would not be reported to VAERS as it is a biologic drug, technically. It is the FDA's adverse event reporting system that would monitor its safety.
