A Message from USPPG – A Leading Physician Buying GroupWhy Now the Best Time to Order GSK’s Arexvy RSV Vaccine

As the fall respiratory illness season approaches, physician offices, pharmacies, and other healthcare providers must prepare to meet patient needs—especially when it comes to protecting older adults from RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). At US Physicians’ Purchasing Group (USPPG), we’re here to help our members access vaccines at the best possible pricing through our partnerships with trusted manufacturers and suppliers.

One of the most important vaccines to have on hand this season is Arexvy, the RSV vaccine developed by GSK. With updated CDC recommendations and growing awareness of RSV’s impact on older populations, Arexvy should be a priority in your fall vaccine inventory.

 

What Is Arexvy?

Arexvy is the first RSV vaccine approved for use in adults. Manufactured by GSK, it is designed to prevent lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV. According to the FDA and CDC, Arexvy is approved for:

• Adults 60 years of age and older, and
• Adults aged 50 through 59 who are at increased risk of severe RSV disease.

As a physician buying group, USPPG connects practices like yours with exclusive access to discounted pricing on vaccines such as Arexvy—helping you offer more to your patients while keeping costs manageable.

CDC Guidelines: Updated RSV Vaccine Recommendations

In its August 2024 update, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a single dose of an RSV vaccine for the following:

• Adults 75 and older, regardless of risk level
• Adults aged 50–74 who are at increased risk for severe RSV disease

Currently, revaccination is not recommended, so patients only need to receive one dose.

Risk factors that may qualify patients for vaccination include:

• Chronic lung or respiratory disease
• Chronic cardiovascular disease
• Diabetes with complications or insulin dependency
• Chronic liver disease
• End-stage renal disease or dialysis
• Immunocompromised conditions
• Residency in a long-term care facility

 

Why Now Is the Right Time to Order Arexvy

1. Fall Is RSV Season

The CDC notes that while Arexvy can be administered any time of year, late summer to early fall is the optimal window to vaccinate. Administering the vaccine just before RSV season ensures maximum protection when the virus is most active—usually between October and March.

By ordering now, your practice can stay ahead of the seasonal surge and avoid potential backorders or supply chain issues.

2. Growing Patient Eligibility Increases Demand

The expanded CDC recommendation now includes adults as young as 50 years old if they are at increased risk. This means:

• More of your patients are eligible than ever before
• Your Arexvy order may need to be larger than last year
• Delaying your purchase could lead to missed opportunities for immunization

3. One-Dose Simplicity

Arexvy is a single-dose vaccine, making it easier to manage than multi-dose series. Patients don’t need to come back for a follow-up, which improves completion rates and reduces administrative burden on your team.
