GSK's new RSV cam­paign lands in ad­vance of FDA de­ci­sion set for next week

A week be­fore the FDA is ex­pect­ed to de­cide whether to ap­prove Glax­o­SmithK­line’s vac­cine for res­pi­ra­to­ry syn­cy­tial virus, the phar­ma gi­ant has a mes­sage for se­niors: Don’t get “cut short” by RSV.

In a new TV ad, GSK out­lines the height­ened risks of the virus for old­er adults and those with pre-ex­ist­ing con­di­tions like asth­ma or COPD. This in­cludes se­vere in­fec­tions that may lead to hos­pi­tal­iza­tion. The video de­picts se­niors wan­der­ing around an art mu­se­um, vol­un­teer­ing and play­ing pick­le­ball be­fore they’re abrupt­ly in­ter­rupt­ed by a black screen.
