Non-urgent advice: RSV Vaccine information

The Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine is for older adults between 75 and 79 years of age.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is an infectious disease of the airways and lungs. RSV infection often causes symptoms similar to a cold, including cough, sore throat, sneezing and runny or blocked nose. It can also make you become wheezy or short of breath and lead to pneumonia and other life-threatening conditions.

Every year thousands of older adults need hospital care for RSV, and some of them will die. RSV can be more severe in people with medical conditions such as heart or lung disease or a weakened immune system.

A single dose of vaccine will help to boost protection as you reach an age group at highest risk of serious RSV infection.

We will be contacting patients who are eligible for the vaccine throughout September 2024.

For information on the RSV vaccine please read this RSV leaflet
