Not a medical professional just like to read. If your own body does not develop antibodies to protect you is this vaccine suppose to lessen the effects?

Taken from the American Lung Association page:

Understanding RSV in Adults

RSV is a common virus that you have undoubtedly been sick with before. You might not have known that you had RSV because without a lab test to confirm diagnosis, it is typically lumped together with other respiratory infections that cause cold-like symptoms. It is possible to get RSV multiple times, even in the same year, because you do not develop complete immunity to it.
