Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccine
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds. It usually gets better by itself, but it can be serious for some babies and older adults.
A vaccine to help protect against RSV will be available on the NHS from September 2024.
You’ll be able to get the vaccine if:
- you’re aged 75 to 79
- you’re 28 weeks pregnant or more – this will help protect your baby for the first few months after they’re born
If you’re aged 75 to 79, we will contact you about getting vaccinated. Please wait to be contacted.
If you’re 28 weeks pregnant or more, from September, you can speak to your maternity service or our surgery about getting your RSV vaccination.
