This disclosure provides immunogenic combinations that include a) an immunogenic component containing a peptide or polypeptide antigen of a respiratory pathogen; and b) an immunogenic component containing a nucleic acid encoding an antigen of the same respiratory pathogen, wherein the immunogenic components are formulated for concurrent, e.g., co-localized, administration. More specifically, the respiratory pathogen is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). This disclosure also concerns provides the use of such immunogenic combinations, and methods for administering such immunogenic combinations to elicit an immune response specific for the respiratory pathogen.
