Infants under eight months can now get free protection against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

The program for infants – which will be offered every year during the RSV season, typically from late fall to spring – began Wednesday, October 15, and runs to April 30, 2026.

Newborns will be offered their dose before being discharged from hospital, and other eligible infants can receive their dose from their primary care provider or public health.

“The monoclonal antibody protection for infants provides strong and instant protection against RSV. So when baby leaves the hospital to come home, they have a good defence,” said Michelle Thompson, Minister of Health and Wellness. “Protection against RSV will alleviate pressure on emergency departments, primary care and the overall health system.”

RSV is a common respiratory virus that can lead to severe complications such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia, particularly in infants and older adults.

Nova Scotia began offering RSV vaccine to adults age 75 and older in September. These additions build on the existing RSV immunization programs for adults living in long-term care and children under two years of age with certain health conditions.

September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

This is a day to honour the children who were lost to residential schools and to remember the survivors, their families, and communities. Public commemoration and acknowledging this tragic and painful history, along with its lasting intergenerational trauma, is a crucial part of the reconciliation process.

We are all Treaty People.
