Moderna Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get mRESVIA at Low or No Cost

mRESVIA (Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine) is provided through Moderna's patient assistance programs, which may offer the vaccine at low or no cost for eligible uninsured or underinsured US patients who meet income and other criteria.[1][5][6] This guide explains eligibility, application steps, and support options based on available manufacturer resources.

About mRESVIA

mRESVIA is a single-dose RSV vaccine manufactured by ModernaTX, Inc. for preventing lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).[5][6] It contains 50 μg of nucleoside-modified mRNA encoding the RSV F glycoprotein, supplied in a prefilled 0.5 mL syringe for intramuscular injection.[7]

The FDA approves mRESVIA for:

• Adults 60 years and older.
• Adults 18-59 years at increased risk for RSV LRTD, such as those with coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, chronic lung disease, or diabetes.[5][10]

Common side effects include injection site pain, fatigue, headache, myalgia, and chills.[10] Most payers, including Medicare Part D, cover mRESVIA under pharmacy benefits, with some processing under medical benefits.[6] Visit mRESVIA.com for patient info or mRESVIApro.com for providers.[1]

Who Qualifies?

Moderna offers patient assistance for those unable to afford mRESVIA, typically targeting uninsured, underinsured, or low-income patients in the US.[1][4] Exact program details like income thresholds are not publicly detailed in standard resources; eligibility often requires household income at or below 400-500% of the federal poverty level (FPL), though this varies.[4]

Key qualifiers include:

• US residents.
• Prescription from a licensed provider.
• Meeting medical need (RSV risk as per FDA).[5]
• Financial hardship proof.

Medicare patients may face restrictions, as some PAPs exclude them; check specific rules.[4][6]

Income Eligibility Breakdown

Specific income thresholds for Moderna's mRESVIA program are unavailable in public sources. Patient assistance programs generally use FPL guidelines. Below is a typical example based on common PAP structures (2026 estimates; verify with Moderna).[4]

Insurance Requirements

• Uninsured patients are primary candidates for free vaccine.
