RSV vaccine

Posted by: Admin - Posted on:

We are now able to offer the RSV vaccine to patients who are aged 75 – 79yrs. This is to help against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common virus that can make babies and older adults seriously ill.

If you turn 80 on or after 1st September 2024, you are eligible for the vaccine until 31st August 2025.

Unfortunately you are not eligible for the vaccine if you turned 80 before 1st September 2024.

This vaccine is also recommended during pregnancy (from 28 weeks onwards) to help protect your baby after they are born.
