RSV Vaccine

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccination Programme

The RSV vaccination programme started in September 2024

RSV is one of the common viruses that cause coughs and colds in winter.

In most people, RSV infection causes a mild respiratory illness, but for a small number of people who are at risk of more severe respiratory disease, it might cause pneumonia or even death.

Eligible patient cohorts for this programme are :

  • Adults aged 75 to 79 (these patients will remain eligible until they reach 80 years and will not be eligible thereafter)
  • Pregnant women (from 28 weeks of pregnancy but before 36 weeks)

We will be holding clinics at the surgery during September onwards and will be in contact with eligible patients
