RSV Vaccination
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccine
Vaccine now available from September 1st 2024.
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 are eligible for this 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 are aged 75 to 79, your GP surgery will contact you about getting vaccinated. Please wait to be contacted.
From September, you can speak to your maternity service or GP surgery about getting your RSV vaccination if you’re 28 weeks pregnant or more.
