Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccination

 

From 1st September 2024, those who turn 75 and those aged 75 to 79 will be eligible for a free vaccine to protect them from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

RSV is an infectious disease of the airways and lungs. RSV infection often causes symptoms similar to a cold, including:

  • Cough
  • Sore throat
  • Sneezing
  • A runny or blocked nose.

It can also make you become wheezy or short of breath and lead to pneumonia and other life-threatening conditions.
