The RSV vaccine is being offered to those aged 75-79. If you wish to receive this, please contact the Immunisation Team on 01792 200492 between 9:00am – 4:30pm Monday to Friday to arrange your free vaccination. Thank you

We are offering older adults, between the ages of 75-79, the RSV vaccine.

RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is a common cause of respiratory tract infections.

For most adults and children, RSV infection causes a mild illness, such as a cough or cold, which usually gets better on its own.

For some, especially older adults, RSV can be very serious and can cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia.

However, a small number of older adults are at risk of becoming very unwell, especially if they have other health problems, such as heart or lung disease or a weakened immune system.

Most people have had RSV as a child, but a past infection may not prevent you from getting RSV again.

You can help protect yourself against serious illness from RSV by having the RSV vaccination when it is offered to you.

For those turning 75, you should be offered the vaccine around the time of your birthday.

Eligible patients should look out for an appointment letter for their RSV vaccination or book an appointment at a clinic being advertised by their GP surgery when invited to do so.

If you have now turned 80, but missed your vaccine when you were eligible at 79, you can still get vaccinated.
